The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““After an alien has once become a resident, he is entitled to the same liberty of movement enjoyed by residei:ts and citizens alike; and, until he abandons his residence, he is no longer amenable to toe excluding provisions of the immigration law. That law is intended to operate when toe emigrant presents himself for toe first time, but after he has pasked the scrutiny of the inspectors, and has been admitted, he is then entitled to the rights and privileges of residents in toe United States as long as he continues to he a member of this class.. It is true that in one sense he is always an alien, until he becomes a citizen, although he may reside in this country for many years before he applies to be naturalized. But this is not the sense in which the word .has been used in the statutes regulating immigration. In these statutes an alien immigrant is one who offers to take np his residence here, but has not yet carried out his desire.””
