Why should the American citizens having homes be put in competition with the foreigner brought in here to work in the factories and the mines? Why should our labor be put in competition with such people? Why should the American boy laborer be driven out of his work because of the cheap pauper labor brought over here from Europe and the Orient? That is one of the things that is confronting us. but. my friends. there is a deeper reason for which I oppose the foreign immigration into this country. I think it is time for us to call a halt. My principal reason is because the bringing in here of the class of citizens who do not love the American flag and who do not have the patriotism that would lead them to defend the country in time of war will. in the course of time. undermine our Government. overthrow our ideals. destroy American institutions. and kill prosperity.
