About 50 percent of its population. however. is made up of people from across the border. thousands upon thousands of whom are aliens in this country. No one knows the number of Mexicans there who are entitled to American citizenship. but everyone who has made an investigation of the question knows that a very large percentage of the people on the relief rolls in that city are aliens. While I am on that subject. a subject in which I am greatly interested. and concerning which I expect to engage the attention of the Senate for some time when my bill pertaining to the limitation of immigration and the compulsory registration of aliens is reported. I wish to say that it has been conservatively estimated. and I believe that I shall be able to prove it. that 3.000.000 alien born who are not possessors of citizenship in this country have been on the relief rolls at one time or another since 1929. during which time it has cost you.
