Speech #760186616

I cannot conceive that this House would pass a bill knowing it is a direct violation of the Constitution. regardless of ones personal views on the subject. Mr. Chairman. we have just heard some remarks in reference to aliens and the naturalization of aliens. I do not agree with the gentleman from New York on this subject. Aliens should not be naturalized unless they prove that they are qualified to become citizens of this country. The fact that aliens have not become naturalized is due to their inability to meet the requirements. until they can meet the requirements. I say they have no business becoming citizens of this country. which would enable them to exercise the same right of suffrage as those born in this country.
