Are we now prepared. under these circumstances. to take within our population 12.000.000 people alien in race. alien in language and in purposes to a great popular government like ours? I challenge any gentleman on this floor on either side of the Chamber. I care not who he may be. to point out the authority this Government would have. when the Philippines are annexed to the United States. to restrict the expatriation of those people and their immigration here. Sir. there is no power to prevent it. The moment we permanently annex those islands to this country and they become a district or a Territory of the United States. that moment we extend our jurisdiction over them and over the people. and those people will have as much right to come into the District of Columbia or to settle in any State of this Union as I have to pass from Nebraska to Iowa or any other part of our common country.
