Those who are opposed to this legislation know very well how the computation is made. They know it is made just as other computations are made in connection with immigration. In fact. that is the only way they can be made. I stated on the floor yesterday that the Commissioner of Immigration said that according to their estimate the number who could come from Mexico would be between 1.500 and 2.000. I know of no better authority than the Commissioner General of Immigration in regard to this matter. and he bases his quota on the same standard that the quotas from all other countries are based. I do not see how what the Senator suggests enters into the question. because if we put Mexico under a quota we would treat her as wve treat every other country. and I repeat the same computation would be used. So I can not see how the question he suggests enters into the matter if the Senator really wants Mexican immigration restricted.
