Speaker. of the more than 5.000.000 aliens in this country it is startling to learn. through a recent news release of the Federal Works Agency. that the median age of our alien population is 48 years as compared with 28 years for the Nation as a whole. More startling. however. is the announcement that more than 15 percent of the aliens are illiterate. This means. Mr. Speaker. that over 750.000 aliens averaging 48 years of age are unable to write in any language. This is no indictment of the aliens themselves. but rather of our loose immigration laws which permitted the entry of these illiterates into the United States. Mr. Speaker.
