                <text>R. H. Adams, in a six-page essay, discusses immigration issues in the United States, with a hostile view towards Eastern European immigrants, stating "the Slavs, Poles, and Italians... are, to say the least, decidedly of the ultra-undesirable type" (337). He closes the essay by saying "We owe it as a duty to all humanity to further restrict immigration here. A literary test...should be applied to the overwhelming flood which is continually piling up at our gates" (341).</text>

                <text>The article, "Race Conditions Discussed in Class" published by &lt;em&gt;The Collegian&lt;/em&gt; on October 26th, 1923 is about Brunor Lasker engaging his class in discussion about racism. Brunor Lasker was the associate editor of &lt;em&gt;The Survey&lt;/em&gt; and worked with the Christian Way of Life studying race relations. The article says, "Among the other race situations discussed by Mr. Lasker was the Mexican difficulty in the South west, the Oriental Americans along the Pacific, the complex situation created by immigration in our large cities, anti-Semitism, and especially the white-negro complex." The article also mentions discussion surrounding the "American Indian." After the lecture, an open forum was held to discuss Virginia and their success in their treatment of the "negro problem." "It was the concensus of opinion that this was because of the friendly relation between the better class of whites and the better class of negroes."</text>

                <text>Written in response to Graeber's Yes opinion, Lucas presents a dissenting No opinion. Citing to the Kennedy Institute, he says that the statistics used by Graeber are a "gross exaggeration of the number of illegal aliens in this country." He then argues that the types of jobs these immigrants are filling are not the types of jobs that the typical American would want and would "provide less income than welfare payments." Further, according to Wayne Cornelius, the director of a four-year Mexican migration study, notes that Mexican immigrants make far less use of social services than they contribute. Lucas attacks the idea of a warrantless search, saying that this power would lead to abuse. Finally, he ends his opinion by quoting the Statue of Liberty and connecting it to the plight of immigrating Mexicans.</text>

                <text>This article is one of two opinions nestled under the headline, "Are Illegal Aliens Damaging to the United States?" Graeber presents the yes opinion of that question. He makes the argument that 8.2 million "illegal aliens" residing in the United States take 1-3 million jobs, send money out of the country, and do not pay taxes. In addition, he claims that they take $13 billion a year from welfare. Graeber says that border patrol should "be given the right to search cars within 100 miles of the border without a warrant" in order to enforce the battle-cry of "Get Back Wet-back!"</text>
