If the right of the states to pass statutes to protect themselves in regard to the criminal, the pauper, and the diseased foreigner landing within their
borders exists at all, it is limited to such laws as are absolutely necessary for that purposeand, this mere police regulation cannot extend so far as to prevent or obstruct other classes of persons (legal aliens?) from the right to hold personal and commercial intercourse with the people of the United States.
