The Chinese may consider it a signal evidence of mercy and forbearance on our part that we have conceded so much to them already. They come over here as foreigners. to remain foreigners. and living in holes and hovels and swarming like vermin. underbidding and crowding out our laborers. getting all the money they can from us and spending none of it. incurring none of our civic obligations. keeping aloof from our civilization. adopting none of our ways. introducing their own filthy ways. and contaminating the moral and physical atmosphere with their rotten and pestiferouspractices. They are unlike all other immigrants. They are not wanted here. and must stay away. This is a most serious question.
