BUSH BY THE NUMBERS:

#1908: A Russian immigrant woman, distant cousin of anarchist Emman Goldmann, comes to Ellis Island (New York) in 1908 with the crush of Poles, Lithuanians, Estonians, Eye-talians, Czechs, Checkmates, Hungarians and the Hungry.

Every immigrant is faced with a stone faced immigration officer who attempts to deny immigration on the grounds of disease, mental incompetence, or revolutionary intent.

The final question every new immigrant is asked is this: "Will you, by means of armed rebellion or sedition, attempt to overthrown the government of the United States?"

The woman, anxious to become an American and join Emma, upon hearing this question reflected upon it for a few seconds then looked the agent in the eye and thoughtful responded, "Sedition".
