We do not want them now or in. the future if they have been properly described upon this floor. The truth is that this bill was born in a shiver of hysteria. Somebody said all Europe is going to come over here and overwhelm .us. Nothing of the kind is going to happen. nothing of the kind has happened in the past. It took all the steamships in the world two years to move 2.500.000 American soldiers over yonder and back. Of course. some immigrants will come. and. if they are not selected to suit you. let us select them. This is a narrow bill. founded upon prejudice to a large extent. It will be an economic mistake.
