ABSTRACT
The article focuses on whether a restriction on the immigration of labor in the U.S. be a handicap to industries. The statement has been made that there is a shortage of manual labor and that the shortage is intended to be filled by an increase in immigration. It is also contended that this manual labor at the present time if it is to be greatly increased must come from southern and eastern Europe. The evidence is abundant to show that the bulk of the immigration from southern and eastern Europe in recent years and at the present time is detrimental to the U.S.
