The Immigration Act of 1924 is a novel piece of legislation in two respects. 1 In it, for the first time, is a real attempt made to control immigration,measurably at least, at its source, and thus to reduce to a minimum the hardships and inhumanities that heretofore have prevailed to such an extent as almost to be regarded as a matter of course. And in it, for the first time also, are immigration and eligibility to citizenship recognized as related subjects, and ineligibility to become naturalized made a reason for the exclusion of aliens. 2 While it is by far the most drastic immigration statute ever passed by the United States Congress,, it is in numerous respects the most humane measure yet devised
