I will answer the question in this way: Every refugee in the United States today by virtue of having been given refuge is not a United States citizen. He is here temporarily. This does not change our Constitution. Under our Constitution a child born here is an American citizen. This bill does not affect that child one way or the other because those refugees will go back to their own country after the war is over. and we hope they will all go back. They did not take out naturalization papers here. therefore this bill has nothing to do with their children. You would have to change our Constitution in order to take away from that child his citizenship which he acquired by virtue of having been born here.
