But under that law 800.000 immigrants came in in one year without any appeal by the Labor Department for additional help. while the gentleman and his party associates now want two assistant secretaries to handle only 240.000 per year. while one formerly handled over 800.000 per year. The truth is that our Immigration Department has not been functioning satisfactorily for some time. not since I have been acquainted with its work. The quota admissible each month is already figured out. we know weeks in advance whether a man from Russia or Italy or any other country is admissible. There is nothing to be settled by an appeal. If a case is appealed the figures have already been given a hundred times.
