We do not want immigrants like the
Sicilian and lower Italian, who come
here only for a while, and after hav
ing accumulated a good sum of
money, return to their native land,
The department of immigration
has in the past few years done con
siderable work of a beneficial charac.
ter in attracting to Louisiana a de
sirable class of settlers.
The legislature of Louisiana has
made an appropriation for the speci
fic use of helping immigration in this
state, and has an office in the city
of New Orleans, the main port of
entry of Louisiana, the purpose of
which is to help all immigrants by
advising them of the opportunities
of Louisiana, and securing them work
as soon as they are released by the
United States immigration officials.
It is the object of this department
not only to encourage immigration,
but to visit, also, the immigrants af
ter they have settled in this state,
and to asspre them we want to make
them our fellow-citizens and that we
wish to see them succeed. We are
glad to note that the foreign colonies
in Louisiana are made up of an in
telligent and happy class.
Such immigration in Louisiana and
Mississippi means the development of
their wonderful agricultural resources.
It means good homes, prosperity,
wealth and happiness to the immi
grant. It means wealth and prosper
ity to Louisiana and Mississippi, the
south and the nation.
