NONSENSE! While there may have been attempts to infiltrate or even sabotage- the foolish narrative that it failed due to the Great Depression- which didnt occur until 2 yrs after he was deported is absurd! He was a conman… there’s too much evidence- and the pardon is pandering. Hypocritical coming from a man quoted as saying he didnt want his children to go to school in a jungle (inner-city black school) and one whom wrote and sponsored a bill that deliberately targeted blacks with extreme prison sentences!!! Rewriting history doesnt really change anything and 2 wrongs dont make a right!
