We also claim that American capitalists and corporations have imported and shipped into this country. as so many cattle. large numbers of degraded. ignorant. brutal Italians and Hungarian laborers. Amercan citizens. men who pay our taxes and fight our battles. have been replaced by these foreign serfs. This is the class of persons. this the species of immigration with whih this bill seeks to deal. These men do not come here of their own volltion. Many perhaps had never heard of America. they certainly know nothing of our institutions. our customs. or of the habits and characteristics of our people.
