Now. I will show you why it is discriminating. Because. prior to 1890. the bulk of the immigration came from the south. and my restrictionist friends who caine before the committee said that the southern immigration might absorb the northern immigration and leave more southerners than northerners of Europe. And here is their proposition: In 1890 there were 180.580 foreign born from Italy. After 1.890 and up to 1910 we have 1.343.125. There were 182.000 foreign born from Russia in the country in 1890. We had 1.184.422 in 1920. On the other haiid. the foreign born from Ireland decreased 519.251 in number between 1890 and 1910. and the foreign born from Germany decreased 473.657. The 1890 census basis therefore becomes unfair and disCrimInatory. The chairman tells you about the 600.000 in Russia knocking at the door.
