What claim has an alien on our Nation except a claim upon our sympathy? While I do not condemn those who are in our country by honorable means. I cannot sit quietly by without a word of protest against the indifference* and inactivity of our Naturalization Bureau in the situation. I am for fingerprinting. registering.. and deporting all aliens who do not measure up to the requirements of America and American ideals. I am of the opinion we should quickly purge our Nation of its undesirable alien element to provide opportunity for our own citizens. No sane person would knowingly Invite those with contagious diseases into their homes to live in intimate contact with the family. Shall we knowingly allow those with corrosive alien Ideas to come to and remain Indefinitely in America where they may bore from within to undermine our social life. our society. and our political structure?
