Mr. Speaker. I do not know what we should do in the absence of our German and Irish friends. we should have no one then to run our politics. Our best citizens. many of them. are immigrants who have landed here and made their homes among .us. who have recognized that their destiny is to be linked with ours. But who is talking about the restriction of that kind of immigration? Where is the objection to it? To suppose such an objection is putting up a man of straw. My distinguished friend from Louisiana asked yesterday why not at once make an iron wall and declare that henceforth no f oreigner shall enter upon American soil.
