I think. is too sacred in American history to be denied or impeached or in any way invaded. I hold just as firmly to our right not to receive a man who may thus expatriate himself and desire to come to this country as I do to his right to come with our consent. I hold that we have a right to so regulate. restrain. restrict. or prohibit immigration into this country. as that our own country and our own people shall not suffer by that immigration. as that the character of our own people shall not be in any sense degraded or suffer by such immigration. In the third place. I hold that we ought to receive any person who thus desires to leave a foreign country and come to our shores and who can comply with certain conditions which are necessary to be complied with in order that our civilization. our labor. and the character of our people shall be in no sense lessened. interfered with. or degraded.
