Mr. Chairman. I see the force of the suggestion of the gentleman. Naturalization and citizenship. however. are entirely within the purview of the laws of Congress. As was suggested a moment ago. we decitizenize people who leave this country and are absent from it a certain length of time. The committee have no more desire than the gentleman from Illinoisor any other gentleman has to enact an unconstitutional law. no matter how beneficial it may seem to be. and in order to meet the suggestion of the gentleman. I move to strike out of line 3. on page 41. thewords "for the purposes of this act."
