	CHANG & BOOS - REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALIENS IN THE UNITED STATES
		In addition to requiring the fingerprinting of higher-risk visiting aliens at the port of entry, the NSEERS program requires the same individuals to periodically confirm where they are living and what they are doing in the United States, as well as to confirm their exit from the country through designated ports of entry.
		Aliens subject to special registration who depart from the United States on or after October 1, 2002, are required to report their departure from the United States by appearing before an INS inspecting officer at a designated port of entry on the same day that they leave.
		Since citizenship or nationality is determined by the laws of the country granting such status, every alien born in one of the designated countries should refer to the law of their country of birth to assess whether they are still considered a citizen or national of that country.

	About the Smith Act Trials
		The Alien and Registration Act of 1940 was proposed by Congressman Howard Smith of Virginia, a poll tax supporter and a leader of the anti-labor bloc in Congress, and is generally referred to as the Smith Act.
		The successful use of the Smith Act by the Truman administration against the top leaders of the Communist Party drove a large stake into the heart not only of the Party but of every organization in which the Communists had been active and influential.
		Those positions gravely undercut the credibility of the Party's efforts in the 1950s to characterize the Smith Act as unconstitutional and to mobilize a defense on the basis of political free speech and freedom of association.
