I will come to that later and make that differentiation. According to a report of the Bureau of Immigration. an average of 274.437 of the aliens coming in return abroad yearly. We had no law or provision to take a census of those returning until 1908. 1909. 1910. Therefore. the figures cover those three years and the average for those three years Is. as I said. 274.437. It makes within the 10year period a return of 2.744.370. That is. taking the 3year average as an average for the 10year period. The total number of immigrants for the 10year period was 8.795.386. Now. deducting 2.744.370 from the total number of foreigners brought into this country during this period. we have left as citizens. or as permanent residents. 6.051.016. not including. as the Senator from Indiana says. the children born of foreign parentage. Taking into account the children born to parents of foreign birth. it will be seen that the increase in population in the last decade is more than half foreign born or born of foreign parents. On page 103 of the commissions report they take in a period of 11 years. The total number of Immigrants brought in during that period was 9.955.673. Of that total only 7.121.335 gave any evidence of having any money at all. that is. 7.121.335 had a total amount of money aggregating $206.145.738. In 1907 alone. according to figures calculated by the commission. which appear on page 103 of the report of the Immigration Commission. the total amount of money shown by all the immigrants arriving during the 11 years was estimated to be $206.145.738. while it is estimated that $275.000.000 was sent out of the country by these aliens in the year 1907 alone. This year. 1907. is the highwater mark in the number of immigrants who came to this country in a single year. Deducting $75.000.000. for the reason that there were an unusual number for this year. and putting the average at $200.000.000 annually. they have sent out from this country in the decade from 1901 to 1910. $2.000.000.000 to foreign countries.
