I am not seeking to take any rights away from the alien. I am not seeking to take any protection of the law away from him. I am not here seeking to change his status in any way whatever. although I am in hearty sympathy with every movement which leads to the naturalization of proper people of foreign birth who are legally in this country. The only question I raise is this: Whether It is fair that a man who is foreign born and does not become naturalized should be counted to determine the number of Representatives in Congress to which that State is entitled? I am still waiting for my gentle friend from Wisconsin. who seems so concerned about the aliens of his State particularly. to give me some reason why. on the merits of it. we should take from one State a Member of Congress and give four Members to the State of New York because they have 1.6W.000 uniiaturalized aliens in that Stale.
