I had hoped the bill would contain a provision for registering all aliens now within our borders. We know just how many are here legally. but we have no record or knowledge of those who entered otherwise. According to the Federal Census of 1930. we had approximately 6.000.000 aliens in the United States. but since that date we are advised that about onethird of that number have become naturalized. so that today we have approximately 4.000.000 aliens still within our borders who have not seen fit to become American citizens. Of course. this does not take into account those who are here in violation of our immigration laws. and that number has been estimated at from 600.000 to a million. These aliens are enjoying jobs which rightfully belong. to unemployed American citizens. They are aggravatng our tremendous relief burden.
