It is not American. It is a plunge into a policy which we have never adopted. and I hope never will. The nations of Europe. from which exclusively our immigrants come. are of the same great branch of the human family as we are. It is the great Caucasian branch. That branch is divided into two main stemsthe Semetic and the Aryan. The latter has furnished the vast bulk of our immigrants. and from it our Revolutionary forefathers are mostly descended. There can be no danger arising from an admixture among our people of a fresh lot of our Caucasian race. We find that. at the same remote period. the dominant races of the world of today burst forth from the steppes of Asia. and flowing westward and southward at irregular periods. drove out the primitive settlers and possessed themselves of their territory.
