There are many reasons why I feeland why the majority of the committee feelthat this number should not be accepted. I invite the attention of Senators to some figures dealing with this subject. In the first place. in considering the number who should be permitted to enter. we must also take into consideration those who enter under our immigration laws. Remember tha. the proposal in the amendment. like the proposal in the bill Itself. is that. besides those who may now enter under our immigration laws. persons shall be admitted into this country for permanent residence. Under existing law. 150.000 persons may enter from the countries of Europe under what are known as the quotas. Others. known as nonquota immigrants. may come in. They are principally kinfolk of persons who are already here. In addition to these classes. there is the category known as nonimmigrants.
