Radical forces find their best soil in the cities. The unnaturalized foreigner who dwells among us need only exercise his privilege of becoming a citizen of the United States to be welcome to enjoy the full benefits of citizenship. Virtually one half the population of New York City consists of aliens who do not care enough about the land in which they live to become naturalized citizens. Yet under a contingency not foreseen by the makers of our Constitution these aliens may some day decide who shall be President of the United States. In voting power alone in the House these aliens have given New York six and a half times the strength of Kansas in legislation affecting the welfare of the people of New York home State.
