Speech #740064445

Let me again repeat what I said in this House on March 13. 1935. We must deport these 3.500.000 aliens who are here unlawfully. And we must stop all immigration from coming here. And just as Bruno Hauptmann did. these 3.500.000 aliens now in the United States unlawfully. violated our laws when they came across our borders. and are continuing to violate our laws by staying here unlawfully. for they are here illegally. and every one of them either has a job. taken away from some American. or else is on the relief rolls. taking relief that should go to the hungry wives and little children of American citizens. And in addition to the 3.500.000 aliens here illegallyand in fact there are many more than that number herethere are about 6.500.000 aliens in the United States who came here lawfully but who have not thought enough of the United States to take out their citizenship papers. And all of them either hold jobs. taken away from Americans. or else they are on our relief rolls being fed and warmed and housed and clothed by this Government. when there is not another country in the world that will do such things for aliens or allow them such privileges. We must take steps at once to require all aliens to register. and we should immediately deport every alien here unlawfully. and we should deport all aliens who have been lawfully in the United States as long as 3 years who have not become naturalized citizens. If they are not willing to fight for our flag they should not be allowed to stay here. This is America. not Russia.
