Mr Chairman. it Is my best judgment that this bill. having been written by both the Justice Department and the Immigration Service. carefully scrutinized by the committee. should not be amended in any way because one amendment might to a great extent injure the purpose of this law. I call attention to the discussion that was had at the opening of this debate by the gentleman from Ohio . in which he wanted to put the word "native" in here in place of the word now appearing. The committee would object to that and I think the Department would object to that for the reason that if we were to put the word "native" in there. we would be shifting the burden for the Government. We want to throw the burden on the person making the application. The burden should be upon him to establish that he was born in this State or the other State.
