They are proud and happy to do so. yet they are without any representation in the national councils which declare war and conclude treaties of peace. Alaskans are denied a vote on national policies and yet are subject to laws which they have no voice in making. and are at times excluded from beneficial legislation which is extended to the 48 States. Alaskans suffer a discrimination under our present immigration law which no citizens of the 48 States are made to suffer. When they arrive in the 48 States. they are held up for screening like foreigners. They are not accorded the same treatment that is enjoyed by the returning citizens of any of the States. This is a new discrimination originating in the McCarran Immigration Act. It did not exist for the first 85 years of Alaskas possession by the United States. In this respect. the status of Alaskans has been worsened.
