The one man who is barely learned enough to read and write might be admitted. and another would be excluded by the language of this section. even though he were a great engineer. an artist. a composer. or some other valuable addition to the citizenship of our land. No German. Scandinavian. or Frenchman. born in the vast territory south of us upon the American continent. between the Rio Grande and Cape Horn. can ever put his foot upon American soil as an immigrant if he can not read and write our Constitution in the Spanish language. which is the official language of those countries. Is it possible that the House should be willing to go to this length? I can not believe it.
