Immigration Bill Passed by House
Debate over an immigration bill highlighted calls to admit Europeans and Russians opposed to Bolshevik leadership. Critics argued the measure would allow anarchists and anti-regime supporters into the United States, while supporters claimed it proved America first. After a heated exchange, the amendment was defeated and the bill passed without addressing the status of Donal O Callaghan, Corks lord mayor, as a refugee.
