Experience has taught us that wherever they are. regardless of disadvantages. that in whatever avenue of industry or labor they engage. they have. without exception. driven forth from thence all competition. They come to us without wealth and absorb ours. True. we have their labor. but its price is sent home to enrich the land of their birth. and thus are we monthly the poorer by millions of dollars that under other immigration would remain in and increase our national wealth. They consume but the minimum. the greater portion of which is imported from their native land. thus again depriving our citizens of the opportunities for labor. as consumption is a prerequisite to production.. Their immigrations have been invasions. In no instance have they been welcomed to any country by its inhabitants. but. on the contrary. from their first migration down to the present time they have not only been met with protests. but persecution and bloodshed have been the result. The history of their early migrations teaches us that though massacred by the tens of thousands and the deportation of the remainder. they have repeatedly returned and endured the same persecution and fate. until now they practically dominate and possess that land. The history of their emigration to and deportment from the Philippine Islands is a "chapter of persecution." rapine. carnage. and horrors for nearly one hundred years. There are other notable instances. had I the space to include them. On our own soil. in this decade. history but repeated itself in the R ek Springs massacre. its perpetrators incited by the same cause. the same spirit. and giving the same reasons for the outrage as wore given three hundred years ago.
