President. I will try to talk so that the Senator from Kansas will understand me. I am opposed to the naturalization of Chinamen who come here on any mission. either to labor or for pleasure or for business or otherwise. They are not of us. they are not entitled to be of us. and I am opposed to their being naturalized in any court of the United States or in any court of any State. The position taken by the honorable Senator from Kansas. when he wants to know what objection there could beby California to having Chinamen naturalized in Massachusetts. answers itself: because a citizen made such in one State is a citizen of another if he chooses to go to another State. Therefore his argument on that point falls to the ground. I shall insist upon this amendment. It is perfectly germane to this bill. There is nothing about it in regard to which the point can be raised that it was not proper to be attached to this bill. because we axe legislating on the subject of Chinese immigration. I am perfectly willing to submit the question to a vote of this body to determine whether they shall become citizens or not.
