The quote is not included however the above should be the correct answer.
The Chinese in the late 1800s were entering the United States in droves. They were getting jobs that other Americans wouldn't take and were beginning to become an economic force in the country.
As a result, the Chinese were getting a lot of jobs because industrialists liked paying low incomes for jobs and the Chinese still took them. Individually speaking the Chinese did not get paid a lot but when put together as a group, they were paid a lot according to opponents of Chinese migration.
