The testimony is that 2 per cent of ill persons who apply for a vis6 are rejected by our consular olticers abroad. That is not a very large percentage. I think that it should be larger. But with immigration at this moment at the rate of something like a million persons a year that means that we are keeping out 20.000 anarchists and bolshevists through the medium of this law. I think with the world on fire today we are better off as a Nation to have these 20.000 pcopIe in Russia. Poland. or southeastern Europe than to have them in the United States.
