https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/4089/iowa-swimmingHas anyone read about the problem with the Polish swimmers at Iowa? Sounds very serious. I have very strong feelings about programs brining in and giving scholarships to foreign swimmers.

In the early 1900s, there were no limits to immigrants from northern European countries . . . everyone who hit Ellis Island was admitted, save for health reasons. Of those, many went to Canada and then to the U.S. Moreover, even if admitted without authorization, the statute of limitations was (I think) five years. It was the McCarran Walter Act in 1952 that first established basic laws of U.S. citzenship and immigration. Prior to that, the laws limiting immigration were pretty racist, focusing on asians and, after WWI, eastern and southern europeans. 1965 saw the inception of limitations on Mexican and latino immigrants.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
