Now.. getting. to. section 2 of the bill. it provides that where an alien mother or father comes back to. this country to) resume. citizenship. that the children born of that union.. if born outside of the United States. shall also have the right of citizenship if the child is a minor at the time that the alien. father or mother comes over to resume citizenship. and provided also that the citizenship of such minor children. shall start at the time they actually become permanent residents. of this country. I submit that there is- nothing radical. about. this section. What it does is to. amend the existing. law that was passed. on. the 2d day. of March 1907 so that. if an alien father refuses to. become naturalized.. the mother can proceed with naturalization and secure the benefits of citizenship for her children. In. this section we are simply conferring a status of equality upon the mother along with the father. There is nothing revolutionary about that. nothing particularly radical.
