Mr. Chairman. the original intention of the committee. as I gather it. seemed to be. with no dispute or division. that this should be five years. because it was supposed that a man having lived here five years would then be able to become a citizen by naturalization. if he had taken out his first papers in time. and then followed that up by making his final application. which can all be done after five years from his landing. We ought to have the right to make him stay here the length of time that it requires him to become a citizen. and if he violates the law and does any of these things provided for in this section he ought to be deported. Anyone who teaches the unlawful destruction of property or advocates or teaches anarchy. or the overthrow by force or violence of organized government. or the assassination of public officials. who has lived here five years and does not desire to become a citizen. and then lives here another two years and makes no application to become a citizen. and teaches the assassination of public officials or the unlawful destruction of property or the overthrow of government. he does not belong in America. And in answer to the question of the gentleman from Illinois.
