Is it not true that the fear is sometimes expressed that if we make the immigration provisions too liberal. then in a period of business depression when Americans are losing their jobs. immigrants will be brought into this country? That fear is held. but is it not also true. that under provisions of the HumphreyLehman bill It is possible for immigration officials abroad to deny visas to persons who "are likely to become public charges" and that. therefore. in periods of depression it will not be necessary to have the full 250.000 persons admitted into the United States? Instead the number may be regulated according to economic need and demand?
