This provision never should have been in this bill. and I am happy that the Committee is going to strike it out. because if we have a problem in this country it is not with the few hundreds of thousands of aliens. or even the few millions of aliens we have here. it is with the Americanborn citizens. educated in our schools and our universities. who are turning against their mother country. and turning against the principles of the Government that has given them every advantage in the world. This is the gang we have to watch out for. and we had better go into our schools and into our universities. if we are going to find the correction for this whole problem. In Wisconsin we have some fine German immigrant folks. who have been so busy on the farm. making a living and raising a good family they have not given thought to obtaining citizenship papers. They are embarrassed because they cannot properly express themselves in English. and hesitate to take the examination. Who would say they were not good citizens?
Identified stereotypes
German immigrants are hard-working and family-oriented, too busy to become citizens.
