The Department of State possesses the right to deny visas to individuals imperiling our countrys security. Section 6 of Public Law 80357 gives the United States the right to "safeguard its own security and completely control the entrance of aliens * * *." Paragraph 29 of the Immigration and Nationality Act permits the exclusion of those who "engage in Activities * * * subversive to the national security." Charles Redman. of the Department of State. affirmed this authority on January 15. 1986. by saying: "We will exclude individuals who personally advocate terrorism or who we believe have participated in or supported terrorist activities."
