In Washington on October 7 Attorney General Bonaparte issued an opinion declaring a state violates immigration laws by paying an immigrant’s passage. The case, linked to Reginald Dykes and the Louisiana State Board of Agriculture, involved Geronimo Gracia who arrived from Cuba via New Orleans and was denied admission after the board found state funds financed his passage with promised work and return of funds, though no employer was selected.
The Attorney General states that assurances of employment given to Garcia by state agents create premises of employment. Aliens brought to the U.S. by state inducement to immigration are not treated as employed, except for specific promises of employment to individuals. Louisiana plans to seek a judicial ruling to clarify implications for Southern states.
