“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and religions; whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.” This quote of America’s first President, George Washington, must have rung true with many europeisk immigrants wishing to improve life for themselves and their families.  During the infancy of the United States, in the course of a hundred years, 1820-1920, America attracted 33.6 million immigrants to its shores!
