Action must be taken and taken now to deal with it. With this in mind. I want to express my strong support for legislation that would clarify and expedite the procedure by which students could be expelled if the terms of their student visas are violated. particularly by the types of inexcusable demonstrations of lateviolent. political demonstrations against the U.S. Government. Something must be done. Foreigners who enter our country legally do so with visas granted for a specific purposebusiness. tourism. study. and so forth. The vast majority come for their declared purpose and then depart. We should warmly welcome and encourage this type of visitor. However. those who accept our hospitality and then promptly violate it by engaging In political demonstrations on our soil should have their visas canceled. be promptly deported. and permanently banned from entering the United States. At present any prompt action Is s Impossible due to a lengthy aupeals procedure. In the case of foreign visitors this is most inappropriate. In the current case of the Iranian e demonstratorsand the morning news b reports several demonstrations are expected todaylet us see how many of them would like to return to Iran now. Let us see if they could get away with this kind of behavior in Iran. if it were aimed against Khomeini. And I wonder how many are here whose visas have already expired? I am sure the Justice Department has no idea. I am introducing legislation that would address this problem. by creating additional grounds for deportation and insuring that the Justice Department has the authority to promptly expel students who come here to demonstrate rather than to study. I urge your support of this legislation.
