Speech #810336207

I wonder if the Senator has had an opportunity of studying the effect of this bill. if it becomes law. on the new naturalized citizens. I wonder whether the distinguished Senator from Tennessee is in agreement with me that. under this bill. if enacted. a man who becomes a citizen by naturalization will be on trial. he will be a secondclass citizen. for 5 years. Is it not a fact that during those 5 years that man or woman will be afraid to raise his or her voice. will be afraid to join any organizations will be afraid to take any position on public questions. for fear of offending some Government official and thus losing the right of citizenship in this country?
