It seems to me. Mr. Chairman. that a study of the statistics for the past few years by the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration is all that is needed to convince us that such restrictions as the bill provides for are demanded to protect this country from the overflow of worthless aliens that are daily reaching our shores. We can not apply the same rules to the immigration today that we did fifty or even twentyfive years ago. We fully realize that entirely a different classdifferent il character. intelligence. morality. and aspirations from those fifty years agoare flocking to our shores from foreign countries. I would uselessly consume the time of the House were I to enter a rehearsal of statistics or to describe the sociological.
Identified stereotypes
The paragraph generalizes that immigrants today are a different class, with different character, intelligence, morality, and aspirations, and are worthless.
