Never in the history of this Nation did we belleve- 4hat we would have 5 million aliens who. because of the tremendous economic and political repression and other problems that they face. find themselves here seeking the right to work. There are 5 million of those people in this country now and we sympathize with their plight. We have extended the right to work here to them officially. but never have we said. "You will be treated as citizens. fullfledged citizens." until they actually take that oath to defend the Constitution of this Nation. to renounce foreign allegiances. to bear arms on behalf of this Government. Additionally. it is estimated that there are 10 to 15 million illegal aliens. So that issue. I hope. will remain alive.
