The more things change, the more they stay the same.

From the NYT one hundred years ago....

From the April 17, 1906 NYT:

Certainly the two facts here alluded to are of immense importance in connection with the question of immigration - the need of the country for increased population of the right sort and the marked, the marvelous advance in the character of the second generation after immigration. These are not the only facts to be considered, but they can never safely be forgotten in acting on the matter. Another point of extreme importance is the obvious necessity of enforcing thoroughly and intelligently the restrictions now placed on immigration before we proceed to increase them. Neither the amount nor kind of provision for enforcement is adequate. We should have a larger and better organized system of inspection at our ports, and we should extend that system more widely and make it more efficient abroad, before we undertake radically to change the conditions of admission to the country [emphasis added].
