And once these changes are made we can be sure more and more demands will be made for even more drastic changes in the future. Here is how the increase would come about. Under our 1920 quota law a total maximum of 154.657 immigrants. if they properly qualify. may be admitted. But not all of this number are admitted because in some countries. such as England and Germany. where the quotas are highest. as a general rule less than half of their annual quotas are taken. Under present law they are not transferrable to other countries. But the President proposes to jump the total figure from around 100.000 or less now admitted annuallyin 1954 there were 94.000to 220.000 by the proposed changes in the lawa net increase of more than 100.000 quota immigrants each year.
