Mexico will, beginning May 1st, put into force regulations restricting immigration from Europe. The restrictions will principally affect immigrants from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Hungary.
The regulations, it is stated, are to be of a temporary nature and were devised in order to cope with the economic situation arising out of industrial stagnation.
While the imminence of the regulations was not officially announced, and complete details are not known, it was learned from reliable sources that immigrants, in order to be admitted to the country, will be required to possess a minimum sum of $5,000.
