That is more reason why the American Government should recognize the visas that were made and given by the American consuls to the prospective immigrants. The trouble was that at the time these visas were issued to the prospective immigrants they believed there were plenty of quota numbers left for them in the quota. and there were sufficient numbers left in the quota until we passed the 1924 act. which completely cut off all prospective immigrants who sold every piece of property they had. believing that the American Government would honor their own visas. As a matter of fact. some of them who had real and personal property who were hundreds of miles away from the American consulate had traveled days and weeks to reach the consulate. They had no further common interest in their country of birth and left their homes in order to come to the future land of opportunity. which they expected to make their permanent home.
