Speech #760183302

It limits the number of Mexican aliens residing or engaged in occupations. business. or work in the United States to an equivalent number of Americans residing or engaged in similar activities in Mexico. I send the resolution to the desk and ask that it be referred to the proper committee. but I desire to read the last paragraph thereof: ResoZvcd. etc.. That all Mexican aliens residing in or engaged in occupations. business. or work of any character in the United States shall hereafter be limited to an equivalent number of citizens of the United States gainfully engaged in Mexico. and all Mexican citizens who have within the last 12 months signified their intention of becoming naturalized American citizens shall be accepted by the United States unless they are or are likely to become public burdens in any manner. and all Mexican aliens in excess of Americans in Mexico as provided herein shall. be deported within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this resolution. (The joint resolution introduced by Mr. REYNOLDS (S. J. Res. 242). which was referred to the Committee on Immigration. appears under the appropriate heading "Bills and joint resolutions introduced.")
