Speech #670341274

White calls attention to the demand made for the prosecution. the ferreting out of those who are smuggling in these people who have no right to come in. and lie calls attention to the inadequacy of the appropriation. Now. whom have we heard from? We have heard from the members of the Immigration Committee. We have had our own experience here with this problem. and all we have heard against it is the recommendation of tile Bureau of the Budget. because every witness who appeared before this committee in support of this appropriation asked for $3.300.000 instead of the $3.000.000 that was granted. It seems to me that this is an instance when we can very well override the Budget. because of the increased knowledge we have and because in the last analysis. as in the first. we are lie policymaking branch of the Government. We make the laws. and here is the Bureau of the Budget coming in against the advice and counsel of everybody that knows anytiling about it and simply slashes off $300.000. I for one want to do everythilng in my power to see that our immigration laws are enforced in every possible way.
