For example. about onesixth of the population of America is of Germanic origin. That is all that is claimed by the German writers themselves. who have written on the German element here--onesixth of our present population. And yet at present. under the 1890 basis. they have about onethird of all of the immigration that comes to this country. It is manifestly a discrimination against all the others. However. please understand that I cheerfully grant that the average German immigrant Is as good as the immigrant of any other nationality. Usually they are lawabiding. peaceful. Industrious people. and they make good immigrants. and I am not at all reflecting on them . but it is utterly unfair to give them twice as much representation in the quota as their element In America would call for.
