If Congress finds the fact that the Chinaman not only does not assimilate but ought not to assimilate with the American civilization. that his presence in small numbers. unrestricted to become infinite numbers. and therefore overwhelming our civilization so as to be destructive of itif Congress. having in view the general welfhre. having control of commerce and our relations with foreign powers. where the Chinaman is. finds the fact to be that that Chinaman is detrimental in his influence to the civilization of the American people. and that located in some particular State he is deadsure to spread and go into all the other States. I ask the Senator is it not in exact analogy to that power by which we exclude by national force pestilential diseases from any portion of the country that we may undertake the prevention of the migration or immigration of the Chinaman to this country?
