It depends on how many we require. That is a part of the testimony of this gentleman who was the supervising inspector bn the border for a distance of 2.000 miles. Since this border patrol was taken off. his testimony goes on to state. hundreds and thousands of Japanese. undesirable Mexicans. and Chinese have crossed the border at will. I was interested in a discussion which took place a few moments ago relative to raising the appropriation for the Attorney Generals Department. I want to state that unless the border patrol is put back to its original strength. you will have to still further increase the appropriation for the Attorney Generals Department to enforce the law and keep out these undesirable Chinese. Japanese. and Mexicans who are coling across in that rough country. where. as Mr. Berkshire states. they have 6nly a sufficient amount of men at the regular immigration stations. It is just a question of whether or not the Members of this House want the law enhforced against undesirable aliens. I would say to you that if the conditions described by Mr. Berkshire and other immigration officials continues on that border we will be overrun in. two years with undesirable aliensJapanese. Chinese. and Mexicans.
