Burke. If there is to be patriotism, it must be a matter of pride to
say, "Americanus sum"--I am an American._--Professor Mayo-Smith.

IMMIGRATION AND THE NATIONAL CHARACTER
If that man who careth not for his own household is worse than an
infidel, the nation which permits its institutions to be endangered by
any cause that can fairly be removed, is guilty, not less in Christian
than in natural law. Charity begins at home; and while the people of the
United States have gladly offered an asylum to millions upon millions of
the distressed and unfortunate of other lands and climes, they have no
right to carry their hospitality one step beyond the line where American
institutions, the American rate of wages, the American standard of
living are brought into serious peril.
