There has been a great clamor among different classes of people to let down the bars that far. in other words. to let down the bars so that husbands of women who are American citizens may come in nonquota. If the wives of American citizens are permitted to enter nonquota. why should not the husbands of American citizens? The only objection is that this increase would be that many more in conpetition with American citizens already here. Recognizing restrictive immigration as a national policy. we are still consistent when we consider that a happy family life is the corner stone of Americanism. Your support or opposition to this amendment will depend somewhat on the number admitted hereunder. It is estimated that the number now awaiting to come in who come under this amendment are only about 700.
