This number will lessen very materially in my judgment in the next few years. This will result from the shifting and increasing of the preferences within the quotas as is done in another section of this bill. It is my judgment that when the last section of this bill begins to operate practically all the children will come in within the preferences for an immigrant who is here for legal residence will be able to get his children in sooner under the quota than by waiting until he becomes a citizen which lie would be required to do in order to bring them in outside the quota. It is my judgment that in a short time this will adjust itself so that few children will come in outside the quota. This opinion is shared in part by the Department of State as will appear from a report of the committee prepared by myself.
