That is that part of the immigration law which allows unlimited immigration from the countries of the Western Hemisphere. The effect of this joint resolution will be to allow quotas to the countries of the Western Hemisphere which will be exactly 10 per cent of the number of persons who came from those countries to the United States during the last fiscal year. In other words. if 20.000 Mexicans came last yearI have not the exact figures in my head. but I say that for the purpose of illustrationthen the quota for Mexico beginning next July 1 will be 10 per cent of 20.000. or 2.000 persons. The immigration from Mexico Will be limited to 2.000 persons during the next fiscal year. under those circumstances.
