First Entry: “Copy
of a Letter from Thomas Jefferson, Late
President of the United States,” First Annual Report of the American Society
for Colonizing the Free People of Color of the United States, at 13, (1818),
available here https://archive.org/stream/ASPC0001932500#page/n11/mode/2up.
I
received, in the last year of the administration of the general government, a
letter from the governor of Virginia, consulting me, at the request of the
legislature of the state, on the means on procuring some such asylum to which
these people might be occasionally sent. I suggested to him the establishment of
Sierre Leone, in which a private company from England had already colonized a
number of negroes, and particularly the fugitives from these states during the
Revolutionary War; and at the same time suggested, if that could not be
obtained, some of the Portuguese possessions in South America as most
desirable.
Second
Entry: Theodore Roosevelt, Twisted Eugenics, 106 Outlook
30, 32 (1914), stating the case for “race survival” of whites, referring to “the
vital problem of the perpetuation of the best race elements . . . I wish very
much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding.”
Third Entry: President Woodrow Wilson, Third Annual Message
(December 7, 1915):
There
are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit, born under other flags but
welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and
opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very
arteries of our national life; who have sought to … debase our politics to the
uses of foreign intrigue.
Fourth
Entry: President Calvin Coolidge, First Annual
Address (Dec. 6, 1923), available in http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=29564:
“New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks
of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose, it is
necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration.”
Fifth Entry: Judges must not Legislate
Security... Safety at the Border, or anywhere else. They know nothing about it
and are making our Country unsafe. Our great Law Enforcement professionals MUST
BE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB! If not there will be only bedlam, chaos, injury and
death. We want the Constitution as written!
