To Deport the Criminal Alien The House, this week, passed a bill to deport a lot of criminal aliens. It took many hours to pass the bill because of heated debate. The House split into three factions. One is composed of pure restric tionists and would deport all aliens who came here illegally and stop all imigration. The second, which would deport only criminal aliens and the third, which would use humane tactics and allow all aliens who are here now to take out cit izenship papers. The debate showed that nobody really knows how many aliens are in the United States today. The guess is around three million. It is estimated that 200,000 are here illegally. About 30,000 nre alleged to be criminals. The debate also disclosed that all of us were origin ally aliens and the Indian is the only true American. Thousands of aliens who are here illegally are on relief—being fed with American taxpayers’ money. Some of them hold fat government jobs. The bill as passed became a sort of compromise nnd the real crim inal alien will eventually have to go back home. But about twenty-eight hundred aliens who came here illegally and who are recorded ns “hardship" cases will be given an opportunity to stay. Among these are aliens who have been here ten or twenty years, aliens who murried American women and who have children who have been born here. To send these alien husbands back home would separate families and create a great hardship. Some of these own their own homes, pay taxes, hire many employees and contrib ute to the upkeep of their local communities. In some manner they have never been naturalized and in some way came here illegally years ago. The House felt that all of These good citizens should remain here. So the compromise bill was passed and in spite of a vigorous effort on the part of tho restric tionists, many of these aliens who have already been notified thnt they are subject to deportation will remain united with their families and continue to live in America. But for the criminal alien the bill is a signal that they will have to get out of America^ The shores of America are so,.,expansive that thousands of aliens are coming here each year illegally. A regular racket in Europe and the Orient has netted millions from aliens who go to most any end to come to tho United States. It is impossible without the borders being barricad ed to keep them out. So the im migration officials tell members that their job is the hardest. “Nuisance" Taxes Continued The nuisance taxes will be con tinued for another two year period in order to help Uncle Sain balance the budget. But these taxes will raise only about 500 million dollars. Gasoline, lubricating oil, matches, soap, chewing gum, coke and lum ber and n lot of other things will be taxed to make up this amount. Automobiles and gasoline will raise most of the money. A lot of taxes will be hidden. The taxpayer will feel it when he buys gasoline, or sends a telephone or telegraphic message, when he transfers bonds, etc. The three cent stamp will con. tinue on letters. But the amount will be a drop in the bucket so far as balancing the budget is con cerned. The tax is in reality a sales tax; a tax paid by the consumer. They don’t call it a sales tax, but nick name it a “nusiance” tax. The leaders here promise that it will be repealed in two years but that it is necessary now. The Treasury de partment guessed wrong on its estimated receipts. They promise a real tax bill for the House to consume next session. No hearings were held on the bill and so thore were a lot of bitter fights about it on the floor. Farm members voted against it because they saw where the amount could be lowered by cutting just a few items of useless expenditures, such as giving California three million dollars to buy additional ground for Yosemite Park which already has 7,500 acres. They saw millions of useless money eaten up by the Army and Navy which was and is not being used for national defense. They learned that the money will in no way balance the budget because our national debt is now officially at thirty-five and a half billion dollars and we have a contingent debt of another five and a half billion. It was officially agreed that the taxpayers hired men are spending eight dollars for every four and a half dollars received. So the only way outside of taxing people more to balance the budget is to make the spending equal the receipts. And many members who have been fighting against useless spending see many loopholes which should be plugged before the taxpayer is asked for more money. That he will be asked for more is officially announced by the Ways and Means Committee leaders who say the big tax bill is coming during the next session.
