« [My fellow countrymen] must bear in mind that some of the undoubted evils which has fallen upon portions of the country from an alien immigration which is largely Jewish, give those who, like the right hon. Baronet and [my]self, condemn nothing more strongly than the manifestation of the anti-Semitic spirit, some reason to fear that this country might be, at however great a distance, in danger of following the evil example set by some other countries; and, human nature being what it is, it is almost impossible to guard against so great an evil unless we take reasonable precautions to prevent what is called "the right of asylum" from being abused. » - Arthur Balfour, 10 Juillet 1905
