Mr. President. I want to lay down another proposition. which. is- that the immigrant who is not of a type and character capable of assimilation into. our body politic is an undesirable immigrant. Whatever the standard of living or the conditions of living in the country that he came from. that immigrant must be capableof lifting himself to our standard rather than attempting or helping to lower our standard to the same level as. that to which he had been accustomed or he is still an. undesirable immigrant. The immigrant must be capable of making a good citizen. and a reasonably intelligent citizen or he is undesirable. He is. not.. Mr.
