Another was refused citizenship because lie had been fined for a traffic violation. Just imagine a chauffeur driving in congested New York City declined citizenship because he violated a traffic regulation. Even judges do that. As long its there is such prejudice and animus developed on the part of officials charged with the question of naturalization. surely the gentleman from Washington ought not to make such statements concerning an honest. conscientious judge. In one breath they take the floor and criticize the immigrants for not becoming citizens and in the next breath the chairman of time Committee on Immigration attempts to retard and prevent naturalization.
