No one has yet demonstrated what is the safe ratio of foreigners for any country. A farmer learns by experience how thickly he should sow his seed or. how far apart he should set his plants. So only by experience can we learn whether we have among us too many foreigners. Experience shows that this country has not suffered in the last 60year period from having 13 foreigners on the soil occupied by 100 inhabitants. The stream of immigration supplying this foreign stock is slower today under our present law than it has been for over 60 years. The burden of proof rests with those who would change this policy and this American tradition.
