I have no patience with it. This country has a right to do whatever it wants to do to protect itself. This country must have immigration laws looking to the good of this country without consulting any other country. I am going to repeat what I said here the other day: If ever we abandon the idea. if ever we surrender the position that we have the absolute right to do whatever we feel we ought to do on the question. we are undone as a nation. we are lost. I think Senators ought to consider this question from the standpoint of the good of the American citizen. for the perpetuity of this great Government.
