He covered the ground. I am a little bit surprised that my very good friend. the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations . should seek to justify this matter. He says a Republican Congress passed a law that. as it turns out. naturalized citizeas of the United States who go abroad and abandon their residence in this country shall lose their citizenship in five years. as I recollect it. if it be done in fact. Why? Because it became apparent to Congress that there were numbers of men who came over just long enough to be naturalized. in order that they might have the protection of the American flag. It was a fraud upon naturalization. a fraud upon the great Republic that they never served. coming without any genuine intention to become permanent residents of this country. and then going back and calling for our protection. I think the vote was unaninous. if I recollect aright. or substantially so. in both the House and Senate. In the enactment of that law.
