Ben Franklin on Immigration, 1784
“Strangers are welcome because there is room enough for them all, and therefore the old inhabitants are not jealous of them; the laws protect them sufficiently so that they have no need of the patronage of great men; and every one will enjoy securely the profits of his industry. But if he does not bring a fortune with him, he must work and be industrious to live.”
–Benjamin Franklin, Those Who Would Remove to America, 1784
