Speech #700131887

My amendment simply adds these two words to that sentence: "and aliens." so that it will read. "excluding Indians not taxed and aliens." Now. I have had furnished to me through the courtesy of the Census Bureau a reapportionment of this House under the 1920 census. preserving the same number of 435. and showing the number of Representatives that would be given to each State if we did not count the aliens in each State. By an alien I mean. of course. a foreignborn person who has not become naturalized. This table raises this question. whether it is right that aliens in this country. foreign born and unnaturalized. should be counted in determining the number of Representatives which a State should have. and I submit that in all justice they should not be counted.
