The French Canadians

In chapter 9 the section on French Canadians really stood out to me because one they were the only ethnic group who migrated completely by rail and they were compared to the Chinese. Carroll Wright called the French Canadians the Chinese of the eastern states basically saying they only came to benefit themselves and use us to get what they need. The reason this stood out to me is because to me that is why all immigrants immigrate to another country. They leave their home to find wealth and prosperity for them and their families. Basically to me Wright is saying that all immigrants are like the Chinese. It just doesn't make sense to only point a finger at two groups of immigrants while others did the same thing.
