14. Views on Immigrants
” The ones who come here are usually the most stupid of their nation. Few understand
our language, so we cannot communicate with them.. It has been reported that young
men do not believe they are true men until they have shown their manhood by beating
their mothers. They do not believe they are truly free unless they also abuse and insult
their teachers.
And now they are coming to our country in great numbers. Few of their children know
English. They bring in much of their own reading from their homeland and print
newspapers in their own language. In some parts of our state, ads, street signs, and
even some legal documents are in their own language and allowed in courts.
Unless the stream of these people can be turned away, they will soon outnumber us so
that we will not be able to save our language or our government. However, I am not in
favour of keeping them out entirely. All that seems necessary is to distribute them more
evenly among us and set up more schools that teach English. In this way, we will
preserve the true heritage of our country.”
Benjamin Franklin about German immigrants in 1751
