We are going to exclude everybody. we are going to keep this country just for ourselves. we think. but we are simply denyIng ourselves the wealth of the world. the splendid men and women who want to come to this country and live under our flag and become a part of this great people. You may do it. you doubtless will do it. As for myself. I would restrict the immigration simply by determining that the individual was capable of becoming and intended to become a good American citizen. that he was capable of amalgamation into our population and into our civilization. that he was well adapted to become a thoroughgoing American citizen. Having done that. I would say to all who desire to come. "The doors are open. and we welcome you." So we shall develop our own country. we shall increase its wealth. its prestige. its power.
