“He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned.”

—Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 4:16.
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations.
