[Rhodes22-list] Legal: Ben Please Help

[Chris Geankoplis]

For what it is worth, when I was in Germanny I knew a lot ot Turks, and
Italians and even though they were born in Germany at that time they could
not hold German citizenship (early '70's).  Don't know if it was an old hold
over from the Aryan purity laws of the '30s or what.  Perhaps the Germans
didn't want all the foreign workers kids becoming "germans", can't have all
those untermensch voting in German elections.
