It is intended to keep from our shores the undesirable classes. and does so fairly well. Administration improvement and a stricter enforcement of the law is possible and should be secured. But it may well be doubted if it will be wise or safe to go much farther. Indeed. it is frankly admitted by some of the advocates of the present measure that we have gone as far as we can to sift and select the desirable and to protect ourselves from the undesirable immigrant. The present bill is not so much to protect immigration as to restrict. It is intended not to better its character but to stop it as far as possible.
