On [[immigration]], Walter worked on the House version of the [[Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952]] which slashed race/ethnicity based restrictions for naturalization in addition to allowing for easier deportations of [[illegal alien]]s and enforcing [[anti-Communist]] measures. It was vetoed by President [[Harry Truman]], which was overridden in Congress and passed. Japanese Americans at the time in particular were divided over the legislation, with some praising it for it's modifications to naturalization laws while others opposed it over certain portions of the bill.
