Speech #590088965

I am willing to go a long way toward keeping undesirable foreigners out of this country. but substantially every one wvio should be permitted to come in should be permitted to eujoy the full blessings. privileges. and burdens of citizenship. If they are not fit to be citizens. let them be stopped at the gate of the nation. But having admitted them to our territory. no good will come from making naturalization complex and difficult. The provisions of this bill would work a great hardship on many miners. stockmen. and ranch men in. my district. and I can not support it.
