We do not hate any nation. any people. The nation and the man who have hate in their hearts have made a nest of vipers of their hearts. We of California fought against Chinese immigration for racial and economic reasons. having uppermost in mind the welfare of our country. Later. as we know. we passed a law excluding all peoples not eligible to United States citizenship. not that we hate those peoples but out of first regard for our own country under our form of government. I do not wish the Senate or our people to forget the fact that our national naturalization policy has been. with one exception. to limit the right of naturalization to what I may speak of as the white race. but when Chinese or Japanese or Filipino or Malay or any branch of those races. man or woman. comes hither. if permitted to come. children born of them are citizens of the United States. and there is the embarrassment of the parents owing allegiance to a foreign country and children owing allegiance to the United States. embarrassing. perhaps. in time of peace. but certainly embarrassing should trouble arise as between the nations. So I want our people to keep out of the Orient and I want the Orient to keep out of the United States. We can have trade relations. we can be friends. but I do not think it is for the interests of this country nor. indeed. for their interests that there should be a mingling of these essentially unassimilable peoples here in the United States.
