Here is the situation. It is a plain busifiess proposition. In the first place. the traditional policy of the people of the United States has undoubtedly been. and I think is yet. to let into this country such foreignborn people as we have reason to believe will make good citizens. Until a very few years ago there was no particular effort to restrict immigration. Within the last few years a crusade has begun in this country to shut out certain undesirable criminal classes. epileptics. and diseased people. and all that. The old law has this exclusive provision in it. to exclude undesirable classes.
