Legal Disabilities of Aliens in the United States, by Max J. Kohler (pp.113-117), comments upon the generous treatment of aliens in the UnitedStates and, after disposing of the collateral questions of exclusion and expulsion which have given rise to “ serious difficulties,” proceeds to set forth the position of aliens in respect to the ownership and control of real estate, the right to employment in public works, the right to enjoy public property equally with citizens, and the right to engage in occupations in which promissory oaths or official licences are exacted. Despite isolated exceptions resident aliens are for most purposes on a footing with citizens in respect to civil rights.
