The old dominion has been a heavy loser from migration. many of our brightest sons and daughters. after receiving their education. migrating to other States for permanent residence. Even animals and birds. such as ducks and geese. migrate. But an immigrant is one who is not moving back and forth but moving from an old home to a new one that he thinks is going to be better. It is essential. therefore. for us to recognize the difference between a migrant and an Immigrant. In studying the history of immigration. it is interesting to note that practically all immigration in the true sense of the word has been between countries in the Temperate Zone. Neither the Tropics nor the polar regions have ever attracted immigrants for apparent reasons. And the flow has been from old countries to newer ones where the ratio between population and land has been low. There is something in human nature that makes the average man want to acquire land. and that instinct is not confined to any race or any particular time.
