The hour is 3 oclock. and I have no power to set aside the agreement. To the opponents of all restriction of immigration and those who think that every child born in Asia. outside the confines of China. in Europe. or in Africahas an inalienable right to come to the United States and settle here. I have no argument to offer. for I can not understand that position. To me it is absolutely clear that the people of the United States dwelling within its borders at this moment are the masters of this country to say who shall come within those borders and who shall not.
