I do not myself see the necessity for imposing a fixed number or quota upon any of these countries at the present time. Where I think we have been weak. where I think the system today is susceptible of improvement. is in the matter of selection. I feel that wider and greater authority should be given to our diplomatic representatives abroad to pass upon the visa of passports of those desiring to come to the United States. with a view to excluding the undesirables. If we could keep out. as I believe we could. those whom we would class as undesirable who are now coming across the border of Mexico through the ports of entry into the United States. the complaints that have been made regarding this immigration would be disposed of and disappear. Naturally. as I stated before. the undesirables go to the large centers and the big communities. They do not go out on the farms.

Undesirables go to large centers and big communities, not farms.
