Air. Speaker. if this bill contemplated to validate certificates of naturalization fraudulently issued. I. should certainly vote against it. but as I understand the language of this act. it does no such thing. It merely validates certain certificates of naturalization which are not correct in form. and not because of any fault on the part of the immnigrant who sought naturalization. but because of the neglect or oversight of the courts who issued the certificates. Now. the question is. Shall we punish an innocent applicant for a certilicate of naturalization whose certificate. in the light of this section in the innigration bill. is now invalid. or shall we state that because of a neglect of the courts .these certificates shall be validated?
