It is so easy to make the alien the scapegoat and to blame him for everything and anything. Furthermore. let us not be so fretful and worried about the alien. for pretty soon the alien will have become a citizen. or will have died or left the country. For the 6year period ending June 30. 1938. there was greater emigration from than immigration to the United States. Thus. during that period. 241.962 immigrants were admitted into the United States for permanent residence. During the same 6year period. 246.449 immigrants previously admitted to this country for permanent residence departed from these shores for other countries. Hence. during this 6year period. 4.487 more aliens departed than were admitted to the United States. In the further discussion of this bill in general debate.
