And then tell me that walls should be erected between these homes and fields and mills and the thousands of willing hands and hungry stomachs that seek so much to share in opportunities which these conditions invite? I enter a heartfelt protest against it. sir. You say they come with unAmerican ideas and endanger our institutions and our domestic peace and safety. No. sir! Such dangers are confined to congested cities. It is easy enough to avoid this. It is easy enough to scatter them over the broad acres that lie to the south and west. Move your ports of entrance. establish them along the coast nearer to the fields. These immigrants can not go far ashore when they land here. They do not want to. Their money is exhausted.
