The gentleman cannot give me any facts. because I think the gentleman has forgotten this point. that during the earthquake in San Francisco thousands of those socalled Chinamen who were smuggled into this country. suddenly decided that they were all born in San Francisco. when the immigration inspector picked. them up. We were unable to disprove that fact. You cannot measure one argument by another. The fact is that a Chinaman or Japanese born in this country is a citizen. The fact is also that he is not permitted to bring in a wife. but a child born to that Chinaman who is an American citizen. is eligible for admission into the United States.
