[edit]This "silent treatment" was referenced several times but I cannot identify it. This text really requires a citation:
“When rejections for “poor physiques” rose dramatically in early 1910, an investigation by Henry Berman, manager of the Jewish Immigrants' Information Bureau, disclosed that Galveston medical examiner Dr. Corput had been making anti-Semitic remarks, including a promise to do everything in his power to exclude Jewish immigrants.[1] There were not as many Jewish lobbyist groups in the southwest, particularly in Texas, as there were in New York. Therefore, Jewish clout had not been established for those immigrants entering through the port of Galveston.[citation needed]
