Public opinion seems to be better developed. The problem seems to be better understood. The time seems to be ripe for action. 1 know not what my colleagues on the committee will do. or what this House will do. but from my own very earnest attention to this question I say that the passage of legislation such as this is essential to the integrity of your immigration laws. You can not consistently allow a great number of people to enter the country from the northern and southern borders and shut out people just as good. not to say better. from the East. You can not say to the people of any section they may have all the subservient labor they want and say to the people of another section they can not have what they want.
