What few individual cases have come in under this provision I say now came in under a subterfuge. There is no doubt about that. I have seen applications and attempts made to bring in skilled agriculturalists to the cities. If we strike this out. I think we will eliminate one source of abuse in encumbering the now limited number of immigrants preferred under the law. thereby facilitating and expediting the entry of parents of American citizens. Unless the committee has information that this provision of law has been used and properly used and is needed. I do not see why we should not strike it out at this time.
