When their children are born. those children are immediately registered with the Japanese consul. and their names are then sent into Tokyo. and they become Japanese citizens. and yet many of them claim American citizenship and when they grow up they can vote in our elections and enjoy all other rights of American citizenship. So far as I am concerned. I am in favor of deporting every Jap who claims. or has claimed. Japanese citizenship. or sympathizes with Japan in this war. The gentleman from Kansas says there are a few people temporarily in foreign countries. whose children are born there. who claim dual citizenship. I have never been able to find one. I am not in favor of throwing the doors of immigration open. or even sliding them ajar in this way. I went through this fight in 1924. when the American Legion. the Veterans of Foreign Wars. and other veterans organizations were battling here to save America for Americans. and I do not want this bill to be passed leaving a loophole for people who are not entitled to American citizenship to come here and claim the right of citizenship just because they happen to be on the Federal pay roll. We do not know what is likely to happen. These are perilous times. and I for one am not willing to begin to break down our immigration laws. Many of these people on the Government pay roll ought never to have been there. Those Jobs should have been given to Americans in the beginning.
