“The High Tide of Immigration—A National Menaceâ€
This cartoon appeared in the weekly humor magazine Judge in 1903. It reflects the alarm among some Americans at the growing number of immigrants from countries in Southern and Eastern Europe (such as Italy, Russia, and Austria-Hungary) and the declining number of immigrants from countries in Northern and Western Europe (such as Ireland and Germany).
