"The United States Immigration Commission was a bipartisan special committee formed in February 1907 by the United States Congress, to study the origins and consequences of recent immigration to the United States. It was a joint committee composed of members of both the House and Senate.[1] It was known as the Dillingham Commission after its chairman, Republican Senator William P. Dillingham of Vermont."
