I think that sort of dual citizenship should not be permitted. At all events. they should not be given the privileges. as they are in many States. of American citizens. They have in sonic States the privilege of voting. and every other privilege. The naturalized American and the nativeborn American are taken into the draft and sent to the war while these men stay here. protected from their own country by residence here and protected from our draft by their claim of foreign citizenship. Under those circumstances those people ought not to be given the privileges of citizenship which they now have in many States.
