If we are going to be logical. we should apply the quota law to all countries which send us immigration. but the drawback to that proposition is that we based our quota Immigration law upon the number of nationals that were in this country at the time the law was passed. There were substantially no nationals in the country from any of the Central and South American Republics except Mexico. Therefore. if we say we will apply the quota law to this hemisphere. it amounts. In Its practical operation. to the exclusion of all Immigrants from many of the Central and South American Republics.
