PESOLUTION ON IMMIGRATION ADOPTED BY THE WOMEN’S PATRIOTIC CONFERENCE ON
NATIONAL DEFENSE, JANUARY 31. 1929
Whereas the first line of defense of every country is a patriotic and free
«itizenry, with a common language, like-mindedness on all matters of country’s
welfare and with a pronounced sense of national loyalty, esaily fired by love
»f country and so ever ready to come to its defense; and
Whereas, during the past quarter of a century, the great mass of immigra-
tion to the United States has been of classes and groups that do not readily
assimilate; and
Whereas it is evident alien groups and alien-minded organizations are engaged
in a persistent and continual assault on our immigration restriction policy,
and have effectually prevented the adoption of rigid deportation law, which
groups and organizations, apparently lack the essentials of sound citizens: Now
therefore be it
Resolved. That we, the delegates here assembled, speaking for ourselves
and so far as authorized, for our organizations, oppose any and all legislation
that would interfere with a rigid restrictive immigration policy. and in accord
with this position we demand:
First. That the Congress neither postpone Or repeal the national origins
provision of the present immigration law;
Second. That the Congress without further delay adopt a deportation law
{hat will enable the proper enforcement officers, without the interference of
fegnl delatory measures to deport all held to be undesirable because of their
criminal actions, or their connection with some organization that advocates the
ase of force and violence to overthrow the Government of the United States;
and make such a law effective by a sufficient appropriation to the Department
of Labor. .
Third. That the Congress without further delay and for the protection of
American homes and American citizenry, adopt a law compelling the registra-
tion of all aliens. a provision now in force in practically every country from
which such aliens came.
