If my friend will yield. he is correct. I have talked about all aliens. Until people become citizens for purposes of reapportionment of this House. they ought not be counted. We can get 5 million instantly. 5 million aliens who register every year. and that is the number that the Immigration Service will tell us are in the country but not citizens. But they are being counted for purposes of apportionment. We can exclude that 5 million in 2 minutes. because the records are already there. Now. after the other method. I agree with the gentleman. It is much more difficult and I sympathize. as does the gentleman from Illinois. about the plight of many of these people.
