In addition to that. we had in 1960. 32.569 foreign government officials entering the United States. 119.291 alien travelers passing in transit. 35.415 students entering for the first time and a steadily increasing number of exchange visitors25.233 in 1960industrial trainees. temporary workers in the highly skilled category. and so forth. I believe it would be safe to assume that somehow even Christopher Columbus could have squeezed himself into this flow of tourists. If the difficulties in obtaining temporary visas were even partially as prohibitive as described by the Madison Avenue drum beaters mobilized by the shipping interests to press for the enactment of S. 610. it would hardly be possible to have those visas issued around the world at a steady pace of over 2.000 visitors visas every day of the year. But this is not all. The article attributed to the Senator from Washington goes on to stress further difficulties encountered by foreigners who desire to pay us a visit. This. according to the article. is a second wall erected around the United States by our immigration officers who are just mercilessly excluding visitors displaying a valid visa stamped into their passports. Let us have a look at this exclusion wall. Out of 1.406.134 aliens entering the United States in 1960. 411 persons were excluded at the ports of entry.
