Now. then. that same preference is granted also to persons skilled in agriculture. and his wife and children under 16 years of age. and for the purpose of my argument I shall present to you a state of facts in a few words. Italy under the 2 per cent of 1890 census would receive 3.889. The consul then may give a preference to fathers and mothers and also to skilled agricultural men. together with their wives and children. leaving a quota for the immigrants of Italy In the amount of 1.944. Now. then. who shall be the judge of the preference? Will the consul favor the father and mother of the relative citizen of the United States who seeks his own flesh and blood to join him or will he consider the skilled agricultural laborer and his family?
