on immigration into the United States. For his first research project for the commission, Jenks traveled to San Diego to study the urban congestion of Mexican immigrants. It was on this journey that Jenks realized he could enjoy complete autonomy in his research, as he received no interference from the federal government. He then led many studies on the urban congestion, living conditions, and occupations of immigrants from different races. Jenks was also concerned with the effect of immigrants on American morality and hired many women to investigate this effect, particularly in the field of white slavery, or human trafficking. These studies led by Jenks and the Immigration Commission were noted to not conform to research methods as they did not hold any public hearings, nor cross-examine any witnesses. The Commission also did not utilize any data already available to them, such as census reports, studies by state bureaus of labor, or other agencies, in order to come up with their own unique conclusions. Instead it relied heavily on the work of Jenks and Lodge to create their own tables, explanations, and conclusions. The commission concluded with a 41 volume report in 1911 which outlined the current status of immigration, laying out the differences in occupation, crime, and many other things between races of immigrants. This study ultimately labeled some races of immigrants as more desirable than others, and ultimately called for a quota system which would restrict different immigrants based on their desirability. Although the commission's proposed bill was vetoed by President William Howard Taft in 1911, the research of the commission was instrumental in the passage of many immigration restrictions in the years to come, including the 1924 National Origins Act. Scholar Mae Ngai notes the racial aspects of this legislation, as she says the language of eugenics dominated the political discourse on immigration during this period. The Dillingham Commission divided the immigrants they studied by ethnicity and race, thus showing how they fed into the language of eugenics and the ideology of the National Origins Act of 1924. All of this work by The Immigration Commission set the precedent restricting immigration into the United States was necessary duty of the federal government. Scout Oath and Scout Law A commission under Jenks with other prominent educators drew up the Scout Oath and Scout Law for the Boy Scouts of America.
