Mr. Speaker. this bill is what is commonly known as the immigration bill. It passed the House last summer in a shape which seemed satisfactory all around. It was a compromise measure. and it was framed upon the principle of the Golden Rule.. The extremists for restriction upon the one side were told that if they refused to accept this compromise measure it might result in no legislation at all upon the subject. and they acquiesced in the action of the House On the other hand. there were those who claimed that restriction is not libertywho held and now hold that the right of asylum on American soil should not be denied to anyone except those already barred by existing laws.
