Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Eugene A. Philbin

President Roosevelt would like to have the report before Congress is in session. Roosevelt asks Eugene Philbin to communicate with Emil von Schleinitz, who has facts on the Ellis Island matter. Schleinitz is naturally favorable to German immigration and President Roosevelt wants to “leave the door open” to people who will make good citizens no matter their race or creed. However, Roosevelt also favors excluding immigrants who are “physically, mentally, or morally unfit to be a good citizen.”
