Oh. the gentleman brought up the question of citizenship himself. and he said that if we had not permitted these 16.000.000 aliens to come here we would have 16.000.000 jobs for Americans. I say that that argument is beside the point. The gentleman will recall that a year ago I brought. a bill up on this floor during the last days of the Seventythird Congress. under suspension of the rules. That meritorious bill was defeated because most of the Members voting did not know. at that last minute. what the real purpose of the bill was. The bill was to gather in the alien gunman and the dope peddler and the alien racketeer for deportation. irrespective of whether those aliens had committed. been convicted and sentenced to 1 year or more for each of one. two. or more felonies involving moral turpitude. which the present law now requires.
