Excerpt from Is Immigration a Menace?: Address Delivered by Cyrus L. Sulzberger at the Thirty-Ninth National Conference of Charities and Corrections, Cleveland, Ohio, June 12, 1912It is an incontrovertible truth that the civil institutions of the United States of America have been seriously affected and that they now stand in imminent peril from the rapid and enormous increase in the body of residents of foreign birth, imbued with foreign feelings and of an Ignorant and immoral character.The almshouses of Europe aie emptied upon our coast, and this by our own invitation - not casually, or to a trivial extent but systematically and upon a constantly increasing scale.All this is about that. Class of immigrants which we now call desirable, the fact being that, as at one time in our history, only the dead Indian was regarded as a good Indian, so at all times, to the restrictionists, only the immigrant who did not come, was regarded as a good immigrant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
