We fingerprinted our soldiers during the World War. and again fingerprinted them when they applied for their adjustedservice compensation. Fingerprinting is becoming very popular among all classes of our citizenship as a matter of protection. Every alien should be fingerprinted and given an identification card. and. if it is found that he is here unlawfully. he should be promptly deported. Mr. Speaker. there are from six to nine million aliens in this country today who have shown no tendency or disposition to become American citizens. This is an unhealthy situation which should be immediately corrected. I favor legislation that will give these aliens a reasonable time. say 1 year. in which to make up their minds as to whether they want to become American citizens. and at the expiration of that time. if they have made no move to become naturalized. I favor deporting them to the country whence they came. They are receiving all of the benefits which our citizens enjoy without assuming any of the hardships. This is manifestly unfair.
