Now. this form of representation should not be tolerated. The citizens of this country are postponed and cut down in proportional representation because of alien peoples who owe this country no allegiance. No reason can be given why any man who is born in a foreign country and who comes to this country and who does not think enough of America to become a citizen here and take out naturalization papers should be counted in determining the. apportionment of representation. These aliens are not subject to draft Suppose the question of declaring war came before Congress. Then why should they have representation on that subject and have Congressmen here delegated to vote for them or to represent them concerning that question? Why should the electoral vote for President of any State be increased because there is a great body of aliens who live in that State and who are not naturalized and who refuse to become citizens? I submit that the election of a President should rest upon a foundation of citizenship and that an American who is not naturalized or who has a divided allegiance should not have representation when it comes to the election of a President of these United States. A great body of our own true loyal citizens are not now allowed to vote. I refer to the citizens in Alaska. and in Hawaii. and in -the District of Columbia. even the boys in the Army cannot vote or do not vote. especially in States that do not have any laws for absentballot voting.
Identified stereotypes
Aliens are portrayed as not having allegiance to the country and therefore should not be counted for representation.
