Many nations who rule by might rather than by right. Can people of this kind come to America. settle in groups of their own kind in large cities. have a change of heart. and a change of mind? This is the character of some of the people that are coming as immigrants. Many of the countries of Europe are sending peddlers. sweatshop workers. fruitstand keepers. street vendors. organ grinders. and bootblacks. mostly nonessential members of their own country. a leech upon the public in this country. And yet it is claimed by some that those of foreign birth in this country have as good or better record than our native people. covering criminals. paupers. and insane.
