Im the year ending June 30. 1921. 978.163 inmigrants of all kinds entered this country. Of course. some went away. Eight hundred and live thousand two hundred and twentyeight immigrant aliens entered this country that year. and. inark you. for about 26 days during that year this 3 per cent quota was in (peration. which cut down the number of inunigrants coming into tills country. If it had not been for that. there would have been many more. For the 10 years up to 1912. I think. approximately 11.000.000 Immigrants came into the United States. In my opinion. time 3 per cent quota law. which is now on the slatute books. has worked well. It is a good law. It does not go as far as I would have had it go. but it has cut down the number of immigrants coining into this country. For instance. during the time this law has been in operation something over 200.000 immigrants have come into this country. I think under the 3 per cent quota 350.000 immigrants a year are allowed to collie in. there being a particular quota each country can send here.
