Mr. Speaker. this measure gives to women the same privileges that foreign men. ministers. and professors have had ever since the passage of the Immigration Act of 1924. So that my colleagues may fully understand the farreaching effect of section 4 D of the Immigration Act of 1924. I wish to call to your attention that since the act became effective in 1924 a total of 15.578 nonquota immigrant aliens. as ministers. professors. their wives. and unmarried children. were admitted to the United States. The bill that we are now considering. and offered by the gentlewoman from New York . amends section 4 D to permit the husbands of 46 female teachers to come into the United States in disregard of the quota. In other words. this amendment is another loophole allowing individuals to come into the United States. bringing with them their ideas and philosophies of government. as well as their hatred for certain forms of government in the Old World.
