That is a much more serious matter than is generally understood. The testimony before our committee was that last year some hundred thousand or more had come across the Texas border in that way. Investigation conducted by the committee convinced the committeethat and information coming to me from many sources fully convinces methat not only people from Mexico and Canada. wxho are not admissible under our immigration laws. are coming in. but that people of other countries in great numbers are slipping into the United States in that way. Now that we are tightening the restrictions and trying to partially dam the stream. so to speak. the pressure at the weak points will be .greater. There will be great numbers of Germans. Russians. Poles. and others coming in. Many Japanese now are coming into California and that portion. of the country through both Mexico and Canada.- I say these things in the hope of drawing the attention of the Members of the House to this important part of our immigration problem. Any law is futile if It is not enforced. It is effective just to the extent that it is properly enforced.
