It is in order that we may so tabulate that information that it will be of service. and if the Census Bureau collects and tabulates this information. even though the names of the parties that enter into that tabulation may not be given. you will have collected information that will cause this House to see that proper steps are taken to secure effective legislation. Surely there can be no objection to collecting information about a matter which everyone who has spoken admits should be known. Take our good friend from Michigan. who says he is in favor of restrictive immigration and in favor of registering all aliens. yet he objects to this way of getting information as to the number of aliens unlawfully here. because he feels there is force in the statement made by the gentleman from New York that sometimes census enumerators get their information from janitors. I question whether such statement will be supported by facts if you inquire of the Director of the Census. It may be that enumerators do get information from janitors. but doubtless the enumerators use such information as a basis for further investigations and inquiries. When the census survey on this matter is announced I predict that this House will pass effective legislation to require the registration of aliens and adequate appropriations will be made for the deportation of all aliens unlawfully here.
