State. Justice. Labor. and the armed servicesfive on this boardto pick 2.500 per year. They could just give an immigration visa to any person they wanted. regardless of who he was or his place in line. That would take care of persons of peculiar skills or those whom we thought might be of service to this country. My opposition to this bill is that it is a new gadget. of which we have too many already. for obtaining American citizensl. ip.
