D.D. Hare immigration speech   Save
Ohio History Connection Archives/Library
Description: This ten-page pamphlet contains the speech on immigration given by Honorable D. D. Hare of Ohio in the House of Representatives on March 2, 1893. Hare states that the new bill being considered gives the power necessary to enforce the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. He states that, if effectively administered, this bill would "protect our people against all classes of immigrants who are in themselves objectionable." For Hare these objectionable immigrants are mostly Chinese. Included in the pamphlet is a table showing the number of immigrants admitted to the United States, and the number of prohibited immigrants found and returned to their country of origin in 1892. There is also a table showing Chinese immigration to the United States from 1873 to 1892. View on Ohio Memory.
