with a reference I cannot access. I do not dispute this; i do not dispute the relevance of this. However, I also think that it would be relevant to include an estimate of the number of known anarchists who abstained from travelling to the U.S. for the reason that they knew that they in all probability would be stopped by the immigration officers. Does anyone with access to the sources know any such estimate? JoergenB ( talk) 13:06, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
I meant to suggest that not even an estimate is possible.
There was no international police cooperation in this period to speak of. See Mathieu Deflem, "Bureaucratization and Social Control: Historical Foundations of International Police Cooperation," Law and Society Review, vol 34 (2000), 739ff.
Meanwhile, you may not realize that the source for the 1/7994 statement is a well-known advocate of immigration "reform" -- basically one of the most prominent American racists of the first two decades of the 20th century. Hall was secretary, i.e., chief spokesman, for the Immigration Restriction League, an entry I hope to expand soon.
I've changed the entry so that the point is made properly and, though Hall's data is correct, uses original sources and documents both sides of the law's impact: limiting immigration and expelling. Someday I hope to create a proper entry of the 1918 Act, which did much unrelated to the definition of "anarchist."
