Part of the Ellis Islanl siituatlof Is now being transferred to the borodr. and we mnfy look for mnore of it. As I said. it is hoped that this restrictive inmigration legislation will relieve immigxant flicials elsewhere aid permit them to pay some attention to the Mexican border. Since April 2 five vessels have arrived at Vera Cruz from European plorts andhave landed more than 500 Europeai immigrants. Apparently Mexico bars none from entry fo0 any cause. But ifthe moving population of Europe is to be dumped into Mexico. that is Mexicos affair. not ours. It will be our business to prevent such immigrants from crossing the border. It will be our business to shut down oil tie 166se giving of bond for entry. of which I have already some evidence. The situation on the Canadian border is different. owing to our arrangements for our protectofn with steamslip companies .landing immigrants at Cajindian ports for entry to the United Stites. We have nouchi agreements with any steamship lines running to Mexican ports.
