Mr. Speaker. I am joining with the other members of the entire Alabama delegation to introduce legislation which would give the President the power to immediately order deported broad categories of nonimmigrant aliens. This legislation is necessitated by the recent deplorable events which occurred in Iran when our fellow citizens were taken hostage. Our research reveals that the Federal courts have unquestionably stated that the Congress has broad constitutional authority to determine what aliens shall be permitted entry into the United States. the period they may remain. and the regulation of their conduct once so admitted. Our legislation would provide that upon a finding by the President that an act of terrorism or other hostile act has been committed against one of our citizens. corporations. and so forth. by or with the assistance of a foreign government or in a foreign state and with the acquiescence of that government and. also. upon a finding by the President that it is in the Nations interest to limit entry into or expel from U.S. nonimmigrants or that state. the President may sign an Executive order expelling these nonimmigrant aliens.
