Americans of the U.S. origin have been unaware of the perplexing problem of nationality confronting the newer American and utterly indifferent to it; but a World War followed by a quota immigration act has forcibly impressed on thousands of first and second-generation Americans the disastrous dash of varying nationality laws, which deny to some men all nationality and burden others with double citizenship. The U.S. holds to both the law of the soil and the law of the blood, and mixes with these the principle of naturalization; the result is unparalleled complexity and confusion.
