If the gentleman will permilt me to come to the next division. he will get an answer to that question. I have attempted to define all who are not immigrants under the definition. Then I want it to be clear that the immigrants remaining are divided into two ciassesoquota immigrants and nonquota immigrants. Both claises are required to secure certificates. but only those in the quota class are counted to fill the quotas which are allotted to the various countries. In this provision our bill is more liheml thin the bill pending in the other body. This provision and another one. to be described later. should remove the charge of discrimination. There is a good reason for these nonquota imunigrants. hut tile opponents of the bill do not seem to Wee it. Now. answering the gentleman from Illinois. among the nonquota Immigrants. for instance. is the man who is here. an alien. who goes out for a temporary visit. lHe conies back.without disturbing the quota count at all. In addition. we have called nonqota imnligranits all unmarried minor clidren and the fathers aid mothers. over 55 years of age. aind the husbands or wives of citizens of the United States. That is to say. a citizen here. desiring to bring his wife. my iring that wife without regard to tile quota. and she still comes to the country as a nonquota Immigrant. That is an important exemption. and it liberalizes the bill cOlsiderably. Tile countries from which the Liew immigration has1 colne hl largest Dnmbers will be the greatest beneiiciries.
