The Alien Registration Act, known as the SMITH Act, was enacted on June 28, 1940, introduced by Howard W. SMITH (D-VA). It set criminal penalties for advocating the overthrow of the US government by force or violence, and required all adult aliens to register with the federal government. I think they meant non-US citizens, not the aliens who may have visited in a ship like this.
