Mr. Speaker. I believe Chinese immigration ought to be prohibited by any and all legislation consistent with our treaty obligations. No class of population should be permitted to locate in this country who cannot readily assimilate with our race. or whose blood cannot intermingle with that of the white race withoat deterioration or debasement. The fact that the people of the States and Territories on the Pacific coast. with a unanimity almost unparalleled. have been for years demanding at the hands of Congress such legislation as this bill proposes affords the most conclusive proof that the evil from which they seek relief is real. and that a prompt and certain remedy should be applied.
Identified stereotypes
Chinese immigrants are described as unable to assimilate and their blood as causing deterioration if mixed with the white race.
