They did not come because they were human derelicts at home. They came because they were enterprising men who were willing to face the adventures of the deep and the perils of the forest in order that they might build homes for themselves and families and live a life of broader freedom and opportunity. That is why they came. and that is why immigrants are coming now. When anybody intimates that nobody but derelicts ever leave Europe he casts an aspersion on his own ancestry and on the ancestry of every other American citizen. The Senator from Arkansas did not mean to go that far.
