Hear what President Gompers said before the House Committee on Immigration in support of the Burnett bill: We are going to live here. All that we have is here. Our families are here. our -children and -our grandchildren. and we expect to end our lives here. and we expect that our children will end their lives here. And with all this great complexity of peoples. with this constantly increasing immigration. there can not be an improvement of the Republic of the United States. If we are going to maintain the Republic. based upon the sovereignty -of the manhood and the womanhood and the childhood of the United States. we have got to see to it that such a condition of affairs as now exists. and now particularly threatens. is removedvery materially removed.

The men of labor want more and better regulations and a .much stronger limitation of Immigration than now exists. I know that I am. perhaps. an altruist. I do not think I am bereft of humanitarianism . but you can not be neglectful of the Interests of the people now in America.
