Such a result is demanded by political no less than by industrial considerations. We welcome to our shores all who desire or intend 1.o make this their home. or who expect to become permanent citizens of our Government. The German. the Irish. the French. and other immigrants to our country have quickly and successfully adapted themselves to our institutions. Prompt to defend the honor and to promote the interests of their adopted land. yielding cheerful and ready obedience to its laws and customs. they have illustrated in their lives and vindicated by their conduct the wise policy of immigration. As kindred drops of water. they have mingled and been lost in the great stream of American life. The Chinese have no such intention or experience.
Identified stereotypes
