Show The Problem of the Government Toward the Alien Is Threefold By SECRETARY J. J. DAVIS, in Annual Report. The problem of the government toward the alien is threefold, to admit ad-mit only desirable aliens as permanent residents; to insure that applicants ap-plicants for citizenship have the proper training; and to rid the country coun-try of those who are determined to be in the country to the detriment of our best national interests. As to the smuggling of aliens into the United States, there is a remedy for that situation which could be effectively supplied the enrollment en-rollment of all aliens in the United States. I favor this plan, with provisions pro-visions for an annual census of the unnaturalized and a system of education edu-cation in Americanism which would give every alien an opportunity to learn the English language and something of American history, traditions, tradi-tions, ideals and institutions. For those whose presence is undesirable or who have gained residence resi-dence through deliberate violation of law the information gained through enrolment or failure to enroll facilities could be provided for deportation. |
