Illinois. Michigan. and Wisconsin). Thus approximately threefifths of all the foreign born in the United States were located in eight important manufacturing States. It is passing strange that the abovementioned States never complain of immigration. They .are probably the most progressive and 1most prosperous of all our States. They never complain. furthermore. that the imufigrant is "indigestible." nor do they discriminate between "old" and ".new" Immigration. They know only too well that the mighty leveler. upward or downward. as the case may lbe. -are their splendid .public schools which make thoroughgoing Americans of the immigrants and the immigrants children. It is quite fashionable. although erroneous. to state that in these large industrial and immigration centers like the East Side. New York City. for example. radicalism is rampant. This is what Roosevelt said of the East Side in 1904: I say that thebeit American citizens are on the East Side. because they bring their idealism with them. because they love America they are willing to sacrifice everything for America.
