United States Immigration Bill Revisions Spark Debate
Washington sources report new immigration restriction measures aim to end asylum policy and tighten quotas. The Republican majority, led by Longworth, plans to shift quota bases from 1910 to 1890, reduce the overall percentage to 2 with a small base quota per country, and seal exemptions for families. The bill also introduces overseas examinations and shifts proof burdens to aliens while preserving a gentlemans agreement with Japan.
