They will be beating upon the doors of this country. Under a nonquota system. so long as they can satisfy consular officers that they can sustain themselves. and that they will not become public charges. they can come into this country. I presume. as a rounded figure. that we can say that 120.000 come in as nonquota immigrants from the Western Hemisphere every year. In the bill we have set a ceiling of 120.000. I do not believe our Canadian neighbors will become too excited. because. insofar as I know. they would prefer to keep their people at home instead of having them migrate to the United States for residence purposes.
