Speaker. until this week I was unaware that the first amendment to our Constitution was a protective shield. under which foreign citizens who advocate the violent overthrow of that very Constitution must be admitted to this country. But that is the effect of a recent ruling by a threejudge panel in the New York City Federal court. I refer to the ruling in the case of Ernest Mandel. a Belgian Marxist. who was barred from entry to the United States in 1969 for the purpose of lecturing at colleges and universities. This ruling has the effect of striking down a section of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. Mandel is an internationally known advocate of world Marxism who admittedly preaches anarchistic doctrines and the forcibleoverthrow of the U.S. Government and its Constitution.
