If enacted into law. will set the Government adrift upon an ocean of difficulty and danger. the character a.nd extent of which the wisest among us can not foresee. Not only isthe bill bad but the methods by which its enactment is sought are worse. In vetoing the immigration bill a day or two ago the President used the following words. which I commend to the consideration of the Members constituting the majority of this body: If the people of this country have made up their minds to limit the number of immigrants by arbitrary tests and so reverse the policy of all the generations of Americans that have gone before them. it i� their right to do so. I am their servant and have no license to stand in their way. But I do not believe that they have.
