Chairman. there ought to be some way by which we could once and for all try to assimilate these aliens who are here permanently and who want to become citizens. They should have some opportunity to do it. At the present moment there are pending before my committee several hundred bills. about 80 percent of them nothing but alienbaiting bills. Some bills have for their purpose the deportation of three and onehalf million people. I do not know that I could get enough ships to deport them. and there is no justification for such action in the first place. Some want to deport aliens because they have been on relief.
