The fear of Communism infiltrating the United States caused the government to curtail some civil liberties. People considered to belong to the Communist Party were "Black-listed." Congress and the Executive Branch also passed several laws and implemented regulations to counter Communist revolutionaries. The Smith Act, passed in 1940, prohibited speech that advocated the forcible overthrowing of the government. The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 was aimed at preventing Communist supporters in organized labor from using general strikes to overthrow the government. The Internal Security Act (1950) closed existing loopholes in security regulations and required all members of the Communist Party to register themselves to the government. The McCarran-Walter Act of 1952 set strict quota restrictions and allowed officials to deport suspected Red sympathizers more easily.
