It seems to me that the time has come when Congress should take notice of the alien question. I have one bill now pending before the Committee on Labor. dealing with the alien employment proposition. and that committee is kind enough to give me a hearing on the bill in a few days. but now is the time for us to stop feeding these aliens out of the moneys of the taxpayers of this country. Almost every major nation of the world. except the United States. has laws or departmental regulations which give citizens preference over noncitizens In the matter of private and public works and in relief. Other nations. when they find a noncitizen on their dole or relief rolls. promptly ship the noncitizen back to his own country. They estimate. and correctly so. that it Is cheaper to send a noncitizen back home than to support him for an indefinite period of time. No one knows. apparently. how many aliens are on relief. Administrator Hopkins has conducted almost every type of census under the sun. but he consistently has declined to cooperate with me in the matter of determining how many aliens are on relief.
