More than that entered in one of the years. immediately after the war. During the war the immigration act and other acts of the kind were set aside. but prior to the war more than that were entering the United States. If we had gone on for 14 years without the restriction acts. 14.000.000 immigrants would have entered. I will tell the Senator how many have come in since 1922. since the first act. In 1922. immigration was limited. and there arrived in the country 309.556. Then. because of the 3 percent law. those coming from Canada and South America were not excluded. and many came in via South America. In 1923 some 522.919 came in. In 1924. 706.896 came in. Then there was inserted in the immigration law a residential clause as to Canada and South America. which reduced the number in 1925 to 294.000. In 1926. there entered 304.000. In 1927. 335.175 came in.
