About This Book

Records of hearings prepared by the immigration inspectors of the district office who served on the boards. If an alien was initially denied admittance into the United States, he or she could appeal the decision to a three person board of special inquiry. Most decisions dealt with contract laborers, stowaways, bond cases, and immigrants who were liable to become public charges.
