It is my opinion. and I think the committee will agree with me. that the number of men coming clandestinely over the ocean has been greatly reduced and the men coming aZross the border to the north and to the south is very small. comparatively. If you take away this patrol. as the Secretary told our committee. the situation would be vastly different. During July and August the border patrol at San Antonio turned back 1.500 people. They had 500 more that they sent to the customs office and to the immigration office. Of course. the number is not so great in other places. but it shows that the patrol is doing the work. We have increased the appropriation. we have increased it for two or three reasons.
