Thursday, March 5,1936 MLLTO REDUCE IMMIGRATION IS FILED BY B. R. Senator Reynolds Rebels Against Tax Immigration Laws In U. S. Robert R. Reynolds (D) North Carolina introduced in the Senate a bill captioned a.^ follows: "To further reduce immigration, authorize the exclusion of any alien whose entry into the United States is inimfcal to the public interest, to prohibit the separation of families through the entry of Aliens leaving dependents abroad, and to provide for the prompt deportation fo habitual criminals and all other undesirable aliens, and to provide for the registrar ?on 01 an alien;* nvw in United States or who shall hereafter be admitted." In submitting this bill, Senator Reynolds made an explanation of his proposed legislation and remarked in part: "Mr. President: T am taking occasion to introduce a Bill to further restrict immigration and to register all the alien? now in the United States. It is a matter of common knowledge that in spite of all the things that wo have done to artificially stimulate employment, there are still many millions of people unemployed in this country. It is estimated, on the best authority, that one person inf nf ovflrv fiv<* rtr ?iv i? in nnn u.'nv or another dependent in whole or in part for their support upor. the government of the United States. This estimate of course takes into consideration those on the relief rolls. Keeping Millions of Aliens Now, in spite of the fact that this condition has been with us for several years, we are tolerating in our midst millions upon millions of aliens. There is a wide divergence of opinion as to how many millions of aliens there are today actually living among ua For instance, the Commissioner of Immigration says in his latest report that in 1935 there were aproximately four million nine hundred and twenty two thousand aliens in the United States, whereas on the other hand, other authorities maintain there are nearer seven and a half millions. It is an amazing fact that neither the Commissioner of Immigration nor anybody else really knows exactly how many aliens there are here. One fact however is definitely csatblished and that is that the aliens with us are to an overwhelming degree adluts. The census of 1930 shows ninety-five percent are twenty years of ape or over. Therefore, everyone of them may be regarded as a potential holder of an American job, and every job held by an alien means one job less for an American. In my opinion, we cannot go back to the American people and ask for approval of our actions here unless we can answer their question: "What have you done to preserve American jobs for American people?" Hurting American Employment The fact of the matter is that in the face of bad unemployment conditions we actually admitted more aliens as immigrants in the fiscal yjear ending June 30, 1935 than we did in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934 and then we admitted many more than were admitted in the fiscal year which ended on June 30, 1933. In other words, each year since 1933 we have admitted more ana more immigrants ill noia disregard of our millions of Americans who were seeking: employment on every hand and in every section of this country. In 1935, one hundred and eightynine thousand aliens of all classes for permanent and non-permanent residence were admitted to the United States. In 1934, one hundred and sixtythree thousand aliens were admitted while in 1933 one hundred and fifty thousand were admitted. Thus it J 1 Blossom Bi Modern equipped giving the latest in F ING.

Now, I know the argument is made ^ that more people are going out than Q are coming in but that is in fact no ^ argument for letting immigrants in! Under the present immigration laws v one hundred and fifty-three thous- j and immigrants may be admitted anI nually. v Gates Open Widar. a } There is now on foot an agitation to open wider our gates to refugees t from various lands where the people S I are suffering from dictatorships. Wc as trustees for the American people v cannot countenance breaking down I the existing immigration barriers, c Wo are experiencing high pressure propaganda to fill some particular * quota from some country, wl en hu- 2 manity demands that we should send back the aliens now here who are c being supported by public funds. I They should be returned to their c homelands. rurtnermore. Imic no effective legislative barrier again- t st the admission of aliens from \ar- 1 ious countries of North and South America. i At this time permit me to return 1 to the figures regarding illegal en- ( tries. The last report of the Com- r ms.-ioner of Immigration says that 1 "it is of course impossible to deter- * mine accurately the number of aliens who have entered the country ille. % gaily but the best available estimates * are that the number of such aliens * now subject to deportation, if detected, is less than a hundred thousand." Gentlemen of the Senate, not- 1 withstanding the estimate of the Commissioner of Immigration, only * a lew aays ago, an omciai in one * [ of our large cities in advocacy a " | local registration measure, estimated the illegal entrants in his locality y alone to be about three hundred thousand. The contrasting figures r prove that there is no definite avail- ( able information on this subject. The time has come for us to act. ^ If there are one million or seven t seven million aliens here, we ought to know it. We ought to know what ^ their occupations are; we ought to ^ know how long they have been here, j how long they propose to remain; we t ought to know whether they are here legally or illegally; we ought to know whether they are desirable or undersirable; if they are undesirable and a burden on the American taxpayer, we want to deport them, and we should deport them. Would Expel Criminals. The Bill which I have introduced , today proposes to expel definitely and positively all habitual criminals in the United States which the socalled Kerr Bill certainly would not accomplish. The Kerr Bill makes two holes in our immigration barriers for every one it plug,-*. This Bill will be instrumental in providing in a measure all the facts which we I need as legislators to determine our I future immigration policy, and to determine our future course as re jgards aliens upon our soil which j should be reserved into law an enforced will correct most of the civils from which we now suffer. Do you-realize that in the annual report of the Commissioner of Immigration for the year ending June 30, 1934, it states that "forty millions of people crossed our land borders in the course of a year." If that is true, just wonder at the possible leakage which can never be correctly checked without the registration of all aliens in the United States. In conclusion may I respectfully direct the attention of every member of this body to a study of this Bill which would reduce immigration quotas to one.tenth of the present quotas, and would make compulsory the immediate registration of every alien in this country, thus closing the gates of our fair land to undersirable immigrants and providing us with an opportunity) to forthwith expel from our midst undersirables who are already here, those who occupy positions which should be filled by Americans, and those who are being sup. ported by our government at the ex. pense of our already overburdened I taxpayers." eauty Shop f I, efficient, capable of & ERMANENT WAV- f anteed.
