Now. Mr. Speaker. if we are going to collar and label and number the innocent and unoffending Chinese .who are among us. is it not about time to collar. label. and number some other classes of immigrants that are being emptied upon these shores? We have been calling our country an asylum. I wonder how it would do now to turn around for a while and call it a sewer for the scum of all Gods creation. Is it not about time to stop the immigration into thiscountry of thugs from Italy. of Greeks. Russians. of anarchists. communists. nihilists. bombthrowers. Mormons. of lunatics. idiots. and paupers? How would it do to collar. number. and photograph these classes among us? It is only a few years since the streets of the city of Chicago run red with the blood of murdered policemen at the hands of such immigrants. Mr. Speaker. it is high time that legislation was had to restrict other classes of inmigrants.
