As to our power and our duty. we must be sure of both before taking action. and in a few words it is my immediate purpose to suggest to the learning of the Senate. first. that we have the power to act. and. second. that it is our duty to act and to act along the lines which have been pointed out so clearly andl so conclusively. Our fori of goveinnlcllt is known to other nations. They know that under our Constitution the matter of immigration is within tile jurisdiction of Congress. They know that immigration or the control of immigration is a domestic question. They know that every independent nation has the right to admit or to exclude whomsoever it wishes to admit or exclude. These are universally acknowledged rights of independent sovereigln nations.
