They can live cheaper than our people will. or than the people from Germany or France or Italy will live. It does so happen that their philosophy of life and their religions are more alien to us than those of Europeans. We are utterly justified in controlling and keeping low oriental immigration in terms of numbers. because of the fact that they in too great numbers may undermine our way of life. our living standards. our form of religion. But we are not justified in discriminating against orientals in toto. simply because they have skins of a different color. The proper reason for keeping orientals out in great numbers is because of those economic facts. but it is certainly improper to keep them out altogether. simply because they are orientals.
