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

may be ?ecn that thirty.nine thousand
more aliens of all classes were
Admitted in 1935 than were admitted
m 1933.
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."
