It seems to me the gentleman from Minnesota is ignoring the facts of life. Heretofore Immigration from the British West Indies was chargeable to the quota of Great Britain. The annual quota. I believe. is approximately 66.000. so that all that a British West Indian had to do was to meet the qualifications as to health and demonstrate that he would not become a public charge. and he could enter the United States as he has been doing. Now. the language of this section. on page 11. provides that only 100 British West Indians can come in. If that is equality. then I think it is an extreme distortion of the meaning of the word "equality."
