I think those who have come here legally and are fit for citizenship are always accorded citizenship. but I for one do not believe in letting down the bars or in permitting them to come in here and destroy our wageearning status. get all they can out of society and then thrust themselves back upon society to be maintained. and in so many instances breed within and without their own perverted herds and hordes. disobedience to law and constituted authority. The population in our institutions. which detain criminals and those provided for the indigent and for the insane. is largely foreign and the population in them of the foreignborn I believe is increasing. Do you mean to tell me that as lawmakers we should come here and give vent to statements which accuse our immigration officials of being warped. onesided. narrowminded officials when they ask pertinent questions of the future citizens of America relative to the history of our Nation? We must maintain the majesty of the law and uphold the integrity of our Nations constituted officials if American institutions are to survive.
