Immigration Opinion on South Carolina Laborers Entrants
The Department of Justice issued an opinion to President Roosevelt stating that certain immigrants aided by South Carolina officials could have qualified for admission under the 1903 act but were not excluded due to lack of enforceable contracts. It explains that passage money paid by a state agent did not guarantee admission and that the 1885 contract labor law requirements were not repeated by the 1903 provisions. The opinion discusses state funding, private donations, and whether the laborers were acting as official agents, ultimately noting the new act’s potential to exclude if proper conditions existed.
