The Attorney General calls particular attention to this point: If a person in this category serves honorably in the armed forces of the United States. it would seem that he should be given the same opportunity to become a citizen of the United States that is accorded by existing law to a person who entered the United States legally. Let me say to the Senatdr from Georgia that if there are two brothers. both of whom. let us say. were born in Canada and both of whom are in the American service. and if by accident of a War Department order one is ordered to service in France and the other is ordered to service. let us say. on the Panama Canal. the point is that one is eligible for citizenship and the other is not. Surely we do not want any such unfair discrimination. The real test is whether or not the soldier. having been ineligible for naturalization for one reason or anotherhe may have lost his certificate of legal entryand who is now in the armed forces. shall become qualified.
