I would have our Government enact wise and just laws for the protection of our citizens at home. in order that they might feel that I hey owed a debt of gratitude to their Government and would be evr ready to respond to a call in its defense. And. Mr. Chairman. I would do another thing. I would protect our country by. a careful regulation of immigration into our land. It may be astounding to know that there are several millions of aliens in our country over 21 years of age who have never signified their intentions of becoming American citizens. 1 feel. Mr. Chairman. that we would be within our rights when an immigrant comes to our shores to require him to swear allegiance to the Constitution of our country. If he refused. I would deport him.
