President. for the past 35 years. legislation to bar nonimmigrant aliens on ideological grounds has exposed our Nation to needless ridicule and undermined the respect for free speech we hope to promote around the world. The bill I offer today would enable us to preserve our Nations security without eroding our principles. Two basic problems surround the denial of nonimmigrant visas under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. widely referred to as the McCarranWalter Act. The first is that McCarranWalter provides grounds for exclusion that are overly broad. and in some cases wholly unrelated to the needs of U.S. security and foreign policy. Subsection 212(a)(28) of that act bars the entry of aliens who are members of anarchist.
