It has the right to admit the citizens of a friendly nation and to deny admission to the citizens of an unfriendly nation. It has the right to decide for itself whether it is for the best interests of its people to admit a certain race of people or not. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided In numerous cases that it is the inherent sovereign right of any nation to exclude from its borders any race of people that can not be assimilated. and that the sovereign power of the Government has the right to make such discriminations as it sees fit and proper. and that no immigrant from such foreign nation has any right to complain because the laws of the country require them to be transported whence they came. So even. if the Members of Congress do not agree with me In the opinion which I entertain In reference to the treatymaking power in the Federal Constitution. they certainly will not disagree with me in the conclusion. that we should. In our soyereign capacity as a people. permit the people of the States to determine who their friends and associates shall be.
