"America for Americans"
This paper argues that too many immigrants were entering the U.S. in the early 1900s, especially from Eastern Europe and Asia, and that this posed a threat to American jobs, culture, and unity. It supports strict Americanization—teaching immigrants English and U.S. history—and suggests immigrants who don’t adapt should be sent back to their home countries. The paper also expresses strong opposition to Japanese immigration, especially in California.
