The Alien Invasion Produced by deaurider, Elisa and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Alien Invasion" by W. H. Wilkins is a social commentary written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series discussing contemporary social, economic, and industrial issues, focusing specifically on the immigration of destitute aliens into the United Kingdom. The book likely explores the challenges and consequences associated with unchecked immigration, particularly highlighting the influx of impoverished Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. The opening of "The Alien Invasion" introduces the prevalent public concern over the significant number of destitute aliens arriving in England, drawing connections to international events, such as anti-Jewish edicts in Russia and changes in U.S. immigration laws. Wilkins outlines the social and economic implications of this immigration trend, suggesting that it has exacerbated existing issues of poverty and overcrowding in major urban areas. He emphasizes the need for a careful examination of the situation, calling for legislative measures to address the negative impacts on both the immigrants themselves and the native population of the host country. The author presents these issues in an impartial tone, urging the necessity for rational discourse and investigation rather than inflammatory rhetoric.
