There is evidence oil every side to establish the fact that our Government and institutions have the power to remold and recast the lives and character of people from every civilized nation. We are therefore justified in the belief that the principles upon which our Goverment is founded and which should control Its administration affect the fundamental elements of human character. The record of achievement which has been made in the assimilation of immigrant peoples into our American. life well challeinges the admiration of the world. Every door of opportunity has been kept wide open to the foreigner who has sought our shores. He and his have been accorded every advantage given to those of our own Nation. While the immigrant has laid upon us many obligations. lie has been given many privileges. Those who oppose this legislation assert that they are controlled in their judgment by humanitarian motives. It is stated that we are closing the doors of opportunity to the deserving people of other nations. that we are darkening the sky of hope to the distressed aud downtrodden of other countries. that we are refusing to extend a helping hand to those who are seeking our aid.
