The law simply contemplates the putting of the naturalized citizen into exactly the same category with the nativeborn citizen. If a nativeborn citizen were to go abroad and marry. and afterwards wanted to bring his wife and children into this :country. the status of the naturalized and the nativeborn citizen under this bill would be exactly the same. I suppose this was not called to the attention of the committee. but if it had been. I do not suppose: it would have received very serious consideration. The case cited by the Senator from New Jersey . as I understand. is one where a naturalized citizen marries in this country a woman who Is foreign born. and then she goes abroad and decides on her own motion to return. Such a weman would hardly return unless she returned as Mrs. Soandso. The law contemplates that when a naturalized citizen of this country marries a woman the woman takes on the status of the man. whether she is native born or foreign born.
