They are good Americans. They were born here. Take their parents off the W. P. A. rolls because they are not citizens and you hit at these innocent nativeborn citizens of the United States. This discrimination is cruel. inhuman. and contrary to the best American traditions. It is not fair play to first make it almost impossible for the immigrant to become naturalized and then starve him because he is not naturalized. This is not patriotism. it is just plain rotten. At this time. when the world is filled with racial. religious. and political persecution. we should not indulge in it.
