Let us select the best to the extent that we can. Let us restrain the undesirable to the extent that we can. and if these methods fail. then this nation must meet the question fairly and squarely and close our doors when it becomes necessary for our own preservation. If we can not control the actions of steamship companies in bringing immigrants from foreign lands. we can meet their vessels at our own ports and deny them entrance. and whenever the tide of immigration becomes so great as to be a menace to our country. then we should. I say. restrict immigration from all lands and all countries. if it is necessary to protect our own people. That is our duty. We have a right to protect ourselves against an invasion of any kind. either an armed force or one coming in the guise of peace.
