Administrative Decisions in Connection with Immigration1

Louis F. Post

American Political Science Review, 1916, vol. 10, issue 2, 251-261

Abstract: Administrative decisions in connection with immigration are in a different class from those of the interior department and those of the interstate commerce commission as explained in the preceding papers. The interior department deals with distributions of public property and the interstate commerce commission acts judicially with reference to private rights; whereas administrative decisions in connection with immigration determine some of the most sacred of private rights as a mere incident in the execution of a public policy.The immigration service is within the general but minutely regulated administrative jurisdiction of the department of labor.This is the tenth and youngest of those executive branches of the federal government that are administered by members of the president's cabinet. For its administration the present secretary of labor, who is also the original incumbent, is William B. Wilson, of Pennsylvania.
