I regret I can not yield. But tile. American Constitution gives Congress the right to deal with naturalization. and I think the amendment I have suggested only perfects this right of the Congress to deal with this vastly imiportant subject. This suggested amendment withdraws citizenship front no man. it only provides that the foreigner most be first naturalized before he shall. vote in Federal elections. not. State elections. I am happy to know. as stated by the gentleman from New York. that there are now only four such States conferring this abnormal right upon foreign subjects as citizens. but when I introduced the amendment there were some eight or nine States of the Union that gave the. right to unnaturalizedi aliens to control the destinies of the American Nation. I thought this aspect of the immigrationquestion would not be wholly unwelcome to the patriotism of this body at this time.
