Certainly the time has come to exclude all tho!e whom we know by former experience have shown that they are not assimilable. and that they. while living under our flag. secretly cherish the flag of another nationality. Especially should that class be excluded who admittedly come to our country for the purpose alone of obtaining a higher wage. living. however. in the meantime at a lower level. with the fixed intention of saving all they can in order to return in a short time to their own country. I take it for granted that there is no dispute as to the right of any country to say who shall and who shall not enter as an immigrant. This right is not only a matter of adjudicated international law. but if there had been no adjudication of such a principle. in the very nature of things it would stand out clearly as an axiom. inasmuch. by necessity. such a principle lies at the bottom of national sovereignty. and is a fundamental principle as well of national preservation. It is as distinctly true of a nation as of the individual home.
