Two or three things ought to be cleared up. One of them is this: Let us make sure that this applies only to American citizens who acquired their citizenship by birth in the United States. and persons born to citizens of the United States while abroad. and persons wis are citizens by reason of derivative citizenship. It does not include naturalized citizens. We do have American citizens who may have been born outside of the United States. but of American citizens. That is. we have Americans who go outside the United States. who have not lost their citizenship. who have children that come to the United States in time so they can claim citizenship. Then we have the class who claim citizenship called derivative citizenship. We have a number of those. who become citizens by reason of the naturalization of the father or mother or both. before the child or children have passed the age specified by law. This measure is brought for our consideration particularly because of a demand of many Americans who are delayed in securing jobs in defense because they are unable to prove their citizenship. They do not have the documentary evidence to prove they are citizens of the United States. although born here. Many persons who are not nativeborn. but are naturalized citizens. have little or no troube because they have documents showing they are citizens. The difficulty lies in the question of proving they are American citizens.
