The enforcement of our immigration laws appears to be having a good effect in preventing objectionable persons from coming to this country and in turning the tide of undesirable emigration to South America. The effect is only beginning to be perceptible at the ports of entry, however, and it will be many years before the mischief already done in the country at large can be overcome. A long course of external vigilance and internal improvement is needed to make the population of this country all that it ought to be, or even what we like to believe it is now.
