Excerpt from Guarding the Immigration Gates; What Has Been Done, What Is Still to Be Done: Address Delivered at State Convention, American Legion, Catalina, California, September 15, 1925
Tests made in connection with the draft duringthe war period showed that the physical and men tal standard of the average American citizen had very much lowered; that a not inconsiderable por tion of the population was composed of individuals little better than morons; that an astonishingly high percentage had an average intelligence not superior to that of a child of 11 years of age. In looking about for the cause of this alarming situation, it was found that the type of immigrants admitted during the last quarter century was generally much less desirable for American citizenship than that which had come previously; that millions of these later immigrants had not only not been assimilated, but that great masses of them were apparently unassimilable, for some generations at least; that many who had been accepted as citizens were not only improperly equipped for citizenship, but had sought the privilege only for the advantages con ferred, and with neither desire nor intent to ful fill the obligations thereof in time of stress.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex history of immigration in the United States, particularly regarding Japanese immigration in the early 20th century. Following the wave of Japanese immigrants who entered the country in the early 1900s, the author explores the fears and biases that arose among the American public. As a result, Japanese immigration to the US was severely restricted and the author discusses the events and political climate that led to this decision, as well as the lasting impact and controversy surrounding it. Through meticulous research and analysis, this book provides a comprehensive historical record of this significant period in US history and challenges readers to consider the complex factors that shape the nation's immigration policies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781528044493_0
