Rory Stewart Quotes

One of the few vestiges of Nazism in Germany is the discrimination against all who do not have German blood. No matter how long an immigrant lives in Germany and contributes to the society, he cannot become a citizen unless his parents were German. This race phobia together with the classic competition for jobs between natives and immigrants which exists on many countries, make the German attitude toward immigrants unique. At the same time, there are other Germans who want to import more immigrant labor to grow the German economy.
Although generally a supporter of immigration, he began to oppose it when the very large numbers of immigrants who were ethnically and culturally different began to enter the United States. Northern Italians were OK but the Southern Italians were from a different social class. German Jews had made great contributions to America but the Russian Jews were peasants and serfs. Polish immigrants also. Walker was worried that for the first time in America there would be a social class division as the historical difference between rich and poor in America he believed was within ethnic groups and not between them.
