This bill. among other things. provides that quotas are to be determined on the basis of the 1950 census instead of on the 1920 census as is now the procedure. It provides for certain pooling of unused quotas. and their allocation in the next succeeding fiscal year. It corrects administrative deficiencies. permits no exclusion without a hearing. and provides for judicial review in exclusion and deportation cases. The need for amendment of the present law is pointed up by the number of private bills acted on by the House Committee on the Judiciary. These bills are passed to relieve injustices caused by the present law.
