Immigration restrictions proposed by Senate committee
A Senate committee on immigration held sessions in New York City and favored a one year suspension of immigration except from the Americas. Proposals would bar admissions for ages twelve to fifty five unless literate in their native language and cap admissions for those over fifty five without literacy to family members only. No immigrant of any age lacking $100 or a character certificate would be admitted. Labor unions oppose the plan as Congress investigates, while water-rich arid lands await reclaiming with federal funds. The Fifty-second Congress second session starts next Monday and will open with the president’s annual message delayed by his father-in-law’s death, to be delivered the following week.
