My friends. the theory is growing up in the world that the various people of Europe have an inherent right to migrate to the United States or elsewhere if they so desire. You meet that theory in every sort of foreign publication. Our right to exclude Immigration seeking to come to these shores has been challenged more than once. Do you suppose our people would bow to an international decision which denied our right to control immigration? Supposing the doctrine of the single tax becomes an international doctrine. and thatalso is quite possible. Supposing the international court decides that no man. no nation. no body of men has the right to own the unearned increment of real estate. that no body of men has the right to an unqualified title to the land. for the land is not the product of mans work but the gift of God. Supposing the international court decides that way. are we to give the Ethiopian or the Hindu an equal share in the land for which our fathers toiled and fought? Supposing the international court should say. "You must not be selfish. You must admit immigrants from the overcrowded countries of Europe. and give them some of the wonderful prairie land in the Dakotas. The Lord never meant that land to be parceled out to pioneers in quarter sections. He meant it for the whole world." How about our quota of the international army. when the international court starts to enforce that decree?
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants from Europe are portrayed as wanting to take land from Americans.
