Excerpt from The Alien Problem and Its Remedy
The exclusion of undesirable aliens is now an accepted feature of English political opinion. Adherence to the view may vary in degree, according to personal predilection on the one hand and definition of the term undesirable on the other the standpoints are inter-related, definition being dependent upon the sympathy, or sentiment, or prejudice animating the interest in the question. The Aliens Act of 1905 during the period of its existence on the Statute Book, now more than five years, has been freely criticised from this triple attitude. It has satisfied neither section of its critics - the class that is uncompromisingly hostile to the alien simply because he has, to use the legal term, not been born within the allegiance of the Crown of the Kingdom those whose sole concern is excited by the fear that a treasured tradition, the Right of Asylum to persecuted refugees, is in danger of being abruptly ended.
