Is not a Chinese personborn in America of Chinese parents also born in America a fullfledged American? Is not a boy born in America of Italian parents living in America an American? Therefore. let us suppose that a man living in England born there of Chinese parents who were living there and were born there wanted to come to the United States for citizenship he would not be admitted. Why? Because he was not a white man. according to our immigration laws. He is an Englishman but still he cannot be admitted. Under our law Great Britain. of which England is a part. has an enormous quota of 65.000.
