Mr. Chairman. everyone is agreed that we should do all possible to prevent frauds in naturalization. and if a bill can be drafted to bring about that result and make the process more secure it will receive ultimately the almost unanimous vote of this House. But it seems to me that the bill should not be so drafted as to be oppressive to the men who seek .naturalization. that the man who seeks it honestly. earnestly. from a desire to become an American citizen should be welcome if he possesses the character and capacity to fulfill the requirements. Let me say to the gentleman who has just spoken that no case has been adduced on this floor. to my knowledge or in my hearing. where any fraud has taken place in the State courts. but men have arisen on the other side who have testified to fraud In the United States courts.
