Who would make the determination if not bureaucrats of some sort or another?

In-process them in an Ellis Island sorta way. Collect identification, e.g. photographs, fingerprints, DNA swab; medical examine them; and, have them pay a fee/price high enough to control the amount that want to enter from getting out-of-hand. The folks willing to go through that and pay to boot ... we can’t have enough. Except for the fee & DNA, that’s how my folks entered in the early 1960s.
