In fact. you give nothing. You simply. in the main. rearrange the preferences within the quota. Why. our whole country has been developed by immigrants. male immigrants. who came here first without. families. I can name you many of the most historic men who came here alone and not with their families. Gallatin did not come here with his family. nor did Hamilton. St. Gaudens. or Carl Schurz. Invariably. all virgin continents and countries are built up by immigrants who first come alone. and then after they have their stake in the country they bring their families over. This has been the history of this country as well as all other countries like Canada and Australia where there has been great .-immigration. but we have divided families. Strange to relite. -too. the courts.of this country have helped keep families divided.- We have had this very anomalous situationwhich still obtains in certain benighted parts of the country. An alien tries to bring his. wife over here and the district courts. say. " No. we are not going to allow you to bring your wife over here because you are not at citizen." and when they ask to become citizens some of the district judges say. "No. we are not going to allow you to become a citizen because you are immoral.
