On the one hand we draft the foreignborn who is not a citizen and on the other hand we now seek to prevent the endowment. of citizenship on a foreignborn who wears the uniform of our country and who is ready to fight and lay down his life for our country. And as against that person we indulge in this hysteria of -foreignborn baiting this afternoon on the floor of the House of Representatives. What a spectacle for our people and our allies. During the last war we permitted naturalization of foreignborn noncitizens because of the service. they rendered. What greater requisite for citizenship can there be than that of service in the armed forces in time of war? Congress permitted our foreignborn soldiers to become citizens in World War No. 1.
