In addition. 3.561 aliens were questioned and denied admission at the border. Mr. Husband. who has direct jurisdiction and supervision over the border patrol. after full consideration and investigation of the bootlegging of immigrants into the United States from Canada and Mexico. comes to this conclusion: "I might say that in my opinion the. Mexican route is now substantially a failure so far as any large number of Europeans is concerned." Canada has some very good immigration laws. Undesirable aliens are not admitted. Then we have 300 immigration inspectors and 200 patrol inspectors along the Canadian border. with 7 patrol districts. Over 1.000 arrests along this border were made during the first five months of operation of the border patrol and many more than that turned back. The Immigration Service now has 16 men in the Florida district. Only 84 arrests were made in the year prior to July 1. 1924. From that date to November 30. with the increased force. 333 arrests were made. Today America not only guards her gates but she is inending her fences. Unlawful entries are at a minimum. As the number of immigrants seeking admission is reduced tie Inspection and examination by tile immigration authorities and officers of the Public Health Service *are more thorough. Some are weeded out by our consular officials before they start. The flow through ports bf entry being regular fnd reduced in number. better opportunity exists to detect the mentally. morally. and physically unfit.
