I exposed it when we were on an investigation in Hawaii in 1937. But this bill goes far beyond attempting to cure that situation. If you will amend it to make it apply to those people who are born under the American flag and who really claim dual citizenship. such as the Japanese. and not try to make it a cloak for undesirable aliens to hide under. then I will not object to it. No one born in a foreign country can claim dual citizenship. for he renounces his foreign citizenship when he becomes naturalized.. But it is different with these Japanese who are born in Hawaii or California. When a child is born to Japanese parents he is immediately registered with the Japanese consul.
