Naturalization Debate prompts immediate congressional action
Mr Lacock argues for a swift change to naturalization law after war declaration with Great Britain. He cites government pledges to admit certain aliens resident during probation and argues militia duty and potential treason risks justify citizenship. A committee is appointed to draft a bill amending eligibility for those from the UK and its dependencies before June 18 1812.
