Those who founded and built this country. whether they came here in 1760. 1870. or 1890. they might be English. French. Irish. Germans. or Italians. I am talking about native whites of native born. I can not make it any plainer than that. all of the native whites of native parentage. The foreign born are not scattered uniformly over and throughout the United States. but. on the contrary. are congested in our cities and employed in our basic industries to such an extent that they present a menace to the very social. economic. and political life of our country. The 1920 census discloses that 72.9 per cent of the foreignborn population is located in Wisconsin. Michigan.
