The first generation. in the main. that works is pretty good. and the second generation is better. because they learn the language and learn our habits. Now. if you will pursue the policy that will make it unprofitable for them to come they will not come. Now. as I am a little over a century old in this countrya little over. about a century and 12 yearsI have no sympathy with the men who come in this generation from Europa. and in the second generation or any other generation will say. "We will pursue a policy that will stop immigration. because we want to get rid of that competition here. When you pursue that policy. you come into competition with 350.000.000 people. substantially of the Caucasian race. I would rather have a million a year. who labor in Europe and ship their products to this country. come as your forbears and my forbears came. and cast in their lot with us. shutting out the criminal. shutting out the dissolute. shutting out the diseased.
