Elizabeths Asylum does not open up and take them in. No. our States resist in every way possible the return of such citizen defectives from a foreign country. just as other countries resist those whom we try to send back. So deportation is a hard matter. I think. gentlemen. having deported a little less than 10.000 this last fiscal year. we will do well to appropriate about $800.000 additional this time in the hope that next year we can deport just about double the number. That will act as a deterrent. The whole appropriation for the Immigration Servicethis yearsomething over $6.000.000 nowand last year was the first time the service did not pay for itself. and then it missed paying for itself by only $1.000.000. Of the $6.000.000 appropriated. when the salaries are paid to the immigration people all over the country. there is about $1.000.000 left for overhead. deportation. and all other expenses.
