"... immigration not only furnishes the greater portion of our criminals, it is also seriously affecting the morals of the native population. It is disease not health which is contagious. Most foreigners bring with them their continental ideas of Sabbath, and the result is sadly manifest in all our cities... from holy day into holiday. But by far the most effective instrumentality for debauching (corrupting) popular morals is the liquor traffic, and this is chiefly carried on by foreigners..."

Once the machine gets its grip on the situation, it broadens and intrenches its power by intimidation at the polls, ballot frauds, vote purchases, saloon influence, and the support of the vicious and criminal. But its tap root is the simple --minded foreigner.

Consider the source of the statement. What unstated concern do you suspect is the primary reason why this group opposed Chinese immigration?

The main nativist argument is that their would be conflicts between races which would involve the nativists civilization.

I feel as though the main concern for the nativists is that the immigrants will take their jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
The nativist arguments were that if the Chinese were to come freely into the country they would create race antagonisms which would lead to public disturbances.

The group is probably going for the Chinese because they will take all there jobs and then the nativist wouldn’t have a job.

The nativist contentions were that on the off chance that the Chinese were to come openly into the nation they would make race enmities which would lead to open unsettling influences.

1) According to the advertisement, immigrants should learn the “American language” because this will make them into “true Americans.” They want the immigrants to fully assimilate to the American cultures so that they don’t turn this new country into that of their old one (the countries they are fleeing from).

# data[].attributes.body
The advertisement is trying to tell people that if immigrants don’t learn English then America will be how it was when more people spoke different languages and had just arrived.

According to the advertisement, the newspaper is using the reasons that people left their home country against them.

According to grant these new immigrants have a large number of people that are “weak” (criminals, mentally crippled, etc), unlike the earlier immigrants where were apart of the Nordic race. These new immigrants would endanger America by filling up jails, insane asylums, and almshouses, leaving no room for Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
According to Grant, these new immigrants were much more weak and broken. He says that there were mentally crippled of all races that were drawn from the lowest of places.

He sees them as a threat towards endangering Americans because they are so much more different than the typical American. They are unlike the other immigrants as well and he is afraid they will change the entire "tone" of American social, moral, and political life.

1) According to Grant, the immigrants from the later times are different from the ones from earlier times because they were people of the Nordic race. He believes that the earlier immigrants are superior to the new ones due to their race and place of origin.
2) Grant saw the newer immigrant groups endangering America because they are people  from other races and places of origin. Grant also considered the new immigrants to be from the bottom of society. He sees them as weak, unable, and worthless, hence, their existence in the American country was seen as harmful.

The influence on American politics and government that the immigrants held was large. They were naive and fell into the traps of large "bosses l" easily. They impacted the votes and support of "bosses" increasing the amount of votes "bosses" receive and because of the sheer number of immigrants, there was a lot of support to be gained.

Grant is saying that the new immigrants are broken and disgusting just because they come from harder times than the immigrants that came earlier.

He saw them as a danger to America because he thinks they are more likely to become criminals or insane and that there are a lot of them coming over, meaning that a bigger percent of America’s population will be of these newer immigrants and basically that they will make trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
The new immigrants are different from the old ones because they are no longer members of the Nordic race. He also stated the new immigrants are weak and crippled.

1) Since the immigrants came to America with nothing, they accepted any help they could get, even if it was from corrupt political figures. In the immigrants’ and political figures’ trade, food, shelter, jobs, and environmental accommodations were provided in exchange for the new citizens’ vote. This meant as long as the immigrants got help and assistance from these people, they were willing to just give away their votes, even to those who are corrupt. This could be why Ross called the immigrants simple-minded.

# data[].attributes.body
They want immigrants to learn the “American Language” because they don’t want America to be like the country they just came from.

The diseases Strong was talking about was that the immigrants are changing their religion. For example, there changing holy day into a holiday.

# data[].attributes.body
The immigrants didn’t have much coming to America. So politicians would approach them with deals. Basically buying their votes for what they need. They were also easily intimidated because they were still assimilating into life in America making them unfamiliar to these things.

# data[].attributes.body
According to Ross immigrants influenced the politics because they were more likely to be bribed into voting for the bosses with a lot of resources since they were so desperate, this means that politics were no longer about who was better to be voted in but who had the most resources and power over the immigrants.

# data[].attributes.body
The “Bosses” would help the immigrants, and in exchange they get the immigrants votes/poles.

The main argument I see in this document is that if Chinese immigrants are allowed to enter the United States, there will be “race antagonism”, in other words, conflict between the Americans and Chinese. I think the main reason why this group is against Chinese immigrants is because they think that the immigrants threaten the Americans in politics, population, and jobs.

According to Ross the immigrants had such a big control on politics because they were allowed to vote. He quoted “once the machine gets a grip on the situation, it broadens and in trenches it’s power by intimidation at the polls, ballot, frauds, vote purchases, saloon influence, and the support of the vicious and criminal.” I think he’s trying to say that the immigrants control the vote and can help the bosses win just because the bosses help them.

In the document, it seems to be the influence on the immigrants was intimidation. They were intimidated by the governor into voting for them

The “disease” Strong is talking about isn’t a health-wise disease, rather, the disease is the ideologies that Chinese immigrants would bring to America.
