ABSTRACT
The article focuses on whether the U.S. should adopt a more liberal immigration policy. The drastic laws against immigration which have been enacted since 1917, particularly the 3 per cent law, have had regrettable results. In framing its immigration policy Congress of late seems to have taken the noisy voice of restrictions as the will of the people. But the nation is adverse to this policy, as the nation needs and wants a liberalized immigration policy. It is hoped that Congress will empower the Secretary of Labor to lift bars whenever there is a demand for certain kinds of labor, so as to supply the need felt keenly throughout the country.
