A bill can be drawn that will protect the citizenship of the United States from an influx of improper foreigners. by which I mean those who. by blood or race. are incapable of amalgamation into the body and life and spirit of the American people. That is not to be done by arbitrary lines on a map. but by blood. It is the part of wisdom. in my humble judgment. to sustain this veto and to start writing an immigration bill that is to be based upon sound principles. and not upon false and arbitrary distinctions. Mr. President. that is all I care to say upon this measure.
