No one. sir. has greater sympathy than myself for the crowded populations of the Old World. who flee to this country because of the difficulty of maintaining an existence and founding happy homes in their own native laud. But. sir. however broad and philanthropic we may be. the time is coming when it will not do to legislate and act upon mere sympathy. The time is rapidly approaching when a further increase of population beyond that which arises from the natural growth of our own people will not be desirable. Sir. whenever the time comes that it will be against the interests of the American people for the vast hordes of foreigners who are coming here year after year to be admitted into our country. you will find Congress enacting laws to restrict that immigration.
