Thomas Jefferson and Franklin, they both really questioned whether we should bring over many of the old world European immigrants. And so I think that's a second point. First, you have the idea of a common mind. What binds us together as a people? And the second was the kind of character. What are the manners and the habits of the people that are coming over?

And what kind of institutions will they endorse if they're allowed to vote in our political system? Is it the case that they're going to bring over some of the bad policies and habits that they had left and that they had fled from? So that was a second major important point. It's also the case that if we're going to be honest, the founders' warning to us would be that diversity undermines unity.

And that's why if you get to the first Naturalization Act of 1790, and this is just truth, it may offend us today, but the founders said only free whites could become citizens. And the reason for that wasn't just you have ideas of inequality, natural inequality.

But even Franklin in the 1760s, he looks, he goes, he visits the Negro school and he says, well, I've changed my mind about these black children. It seems like they can learn just like white children. But even then, he says, I hope that will discourage migration.

And the reason that Franklin and Jefferson, Jefferson as well, took this position and notes on the state of Virginia was they didn't think you could have Republican freedoms if you had a population that was torn apart by faction. And so this becomes, of course, this guides immigration policy, who can become a citizen all the way until

all the way until the 14th Amendment and the New Naturalization Act of 1870. And that's when white Americans say, particularly the radical Republicans, they could see that the attempt on the part of the Southerners was to reintroduce slavery through a loophole in the 13th Amendment.

And so in the 14th Amendment, they recognized natural-born citizenship for the freedmen, as well as they changed naturalization policy. And so you have whites and blacks can become citizens. This did not include other races. This did not include Asians for purposes of migration, nor did it include Indians for That status would change for Indians under public law in the 1920s. What and why?

Why did they do this? Well, I think it was those three basic points. One was how do you have a common mind? The idea of a common citizenry, so you have a country for its citizens. Second, how do we bring over immigrants who are going to share some of our common values? This is one of the reasons why the laborers did not want a large number of Chinese immigrants at the end of the 19th century.

They were very much afraid that they would bring over a kind of paternalistic view of the ends of government. That's also why many of the Irish posed such a problem. You know, 75% of the Germans, they migrated off to the countryside, but about 75% of the Irish settled down in major cities.

And the claim was is they brought much of their paternalistic or view of government that focused on patronage. And, of course, every time you have mass migration, it increases crime. It also increases the inflation. entitlements program or the welfare programs of the localities and the states, and of course today, the federal government. And so from 1880 to 1920, we do see a change.
