By this resolution you favor these 2.600 aliens who flouted the law and continue to laugh at it. You are endeavoring to penalize the foreignborn man and woman who paid for their citizenship .in this country with their money and toil of weary years. . We have the most lenient laws of entry and naturalization of all the nations of the world. yet you would. by this resolution. give a prize for the violation of our lenient laws to these 2.600 aliens. and add to it a grand prize for the Department of Government that shuts its eyes to the criminal act. Proponents of this resolution tell us that illegal entry is a crime that should be overlooked. If that were true then entry should never have been made illegal in the beginning. and most certainly those of that opinion should now present a bill to repeal the law instead of a resolution to condone its violation.
