However. In these days following the World War. when conditions abroad are so disturbed. we must give great care to a proper selection of those who are admitted to our shores. seeing to it that no undesirable foreigners are admitted. who will be a menace to our institutions. who can not be readily assimilated. and who will be a burden and not a help to the communities in which they will reside. This law. under the nonquota section (4). will admit the minor children. wives or husbands. or the dependent parents over 55 years of age of those foreigners who have been previously admitted. and grant to them the privileges of citizenship in this country. so that there will be no hardship upon them . and in our selection of new immigrants we have provided for tentative certificates to be first issued abroad. so that prospective immigrants may not be admitted if they are not entitled to enter. We agree with the sentiment that no immigrant should be admitted to this country whom we would not welcome as a citizen of our State and Nation. This is our own beloved country. let us protect the fundamentals upon which it was founded as we would guard the purity of our own homes.
