Speech #540129705

It is legislation in the direction of other restrictions. and it imposes upon the rights of man. The right of a man to migrate. to expatriate himself. to leave his own country and come to this. has been claimed and conceded. I do not know whether Mrartin Koszta could read or write. probably he could. but would it have been any different when he was at Smyrna. when American citizenship was prized as it then was? Indeed this. in my judgment. is intended as a restriction. as a means of embarrassing emigration. Having thus stated my views with the utmost freedom. I shall no longer claim the attention of the Senate.
