San Francisco and New Orleans as well. Immigrants were the petri dish of crime and corruption. Ye who howl praise to Democracy, answer me this. Who was better governed in the 19th century? German and English cities or American cities?

Prob true. Not many in NorCal. Willie Brown was more corrupt than a ship full of Turks. I'd say the descendants of illegals win the day.

European immigration from 1880-1920 had at best a neutral effect on America. To pretend that all those immigrants were of higher quality than the founding stock is silly.
