I know the gentleman represents an area more in the interior of the country. but the gentleman and I are members of a very small group here in the House. the Scandinavian Caucus. As I think back in listening to the gentleman speak about his district. I am reminded of my own grandfather who was an immigrant. and he had his naturalization certificate and he hung it on the wall. he was so proud of it. As the gentleman is talking about newcomers coming in. I do not recall ever a time when people of Scandinavian descent were hunted down to see if there was proof of their citizenship. Yet he was an immigrant. much more than many of the Latinos in California whose families have lived in California for generations. long before my family arrived. I wonder whether in the gentlemans experience there has ever been these issues raised about what are the Scandihoovians doing there. and are they legit?
