I do not wish to be misunderstood. Iam not nowon the questionof expediency. but am discussing the question of power. and I think I have shown it to exist beyond question. I am in favor and always have been in favor of laws regulating immigration in this country which will not admit of the 500.000 or 600.000 immigrants landing upon our shores every year. Iam not for so restricting those laws as to exclude from among us those who will become worthy and useful citizens. and there are many such who come to this country from abroad. Many of the best citizens we have are foreigners.
