In the attack on the Health Bill the question of the status of aliens really seems to be bugging a lot of people.

Our foreman at B.B & S. was Mr. Henderson who passed away in 1959. Mr. H. had worked for my grandfather in Walla Walla. Grandfather retired in 1939. He went on to work for grandfather's successors.

I know from conversations with him that he had worked for others in the area prior to working for my grandfather so he was living in the area for forty to fifty years

He owned a home. His two sons worked their way through a private college. He paid all taxes required.

He was a Canadian citizen.

I found this to be true when he complained about having to register as a resident alien at the post office every January.

He said he was born a Canadian and felt that that was where his citizenship should be.

Is this the type of person the naysayers are afraid of.

Also a concern, I remember reading Edgar Allen Poe's Mask of the Red Death. In this story all of the Elite of the country gathered in the palace to be safe from a plague.

The unworthy were left outside to suffer and die.

To celebrate this brilliant plan a masked ball was held. At midnite when they unmasked the contageous had joined the party and all were exposed.
