Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. in my section of the country there are not many aliens. We are not bothered much with the alien immigration question. However. I see in the hearings on this bill a declaration from parties in power and engaged in the enforcement of the law that over 50 per cent of the violators of the narcotic and liquor laws are aliens. Anyone who has ever had any experience in the enforcement of the law knows that that can be accounted for by the fact that to a great portion of the immigrants who come to this country our jails are a promotion and have no horrors for them. I know men who will deliberately walk out and commit another crime after being freed from jail. because the jail has no horror for them or for men of their class. They are aliens.

Immigrants are more likely to commit crimes because jails are a promotion for them.
