We granted no citizenship to orientals, so now we have a group of people, some of whom have been here as long as fifty years who have not been able to become citizens under our laws. long before the war, an old japanese man told me that he had great grand-children born in this country and that he had never been back to japan, all that he cared about was here on the soil of the united states, and yet he could not become a citizen. what is the best question for the researcher to ask about this passage? a. how long before the war did the old man tell this story? b. how many great grand-children did the old man have? c. why did we not grant citizenship to orientals? d. why do people want to be citizens?
