I did not mean to convey the impression that there is anything bad about it. Of course. I think the superior virtues of native stock in many respects are very much exaggerated. The point I make is that the effect of an influx of foreign immigration is to lower the wages of our own people. to make life a lot more arduous for our own American workingmen. and we can refurnish our population through native agencies without any extraneous aid. then it does seem to me it is quite questionable whether there is any particular reason why we should be especially liberal in the matter of letting immigrants into the country.
