Europe’s loss of these men was America’s gain. We did not guarantee
these immigrants subsidized medical care, a right to a job, a right to
an education, or anything from the government other than protection for
their freedom and the right to try to succeed and keep what earnings
they made. That was all that was needed. We promised liberty; other
nations did not. We got the immigrants we needed to give us the boost
to become a first-rate power in the world, because the best reason to
come to America was the freedom of opportunity this country afforded
these individuals.
