An additional $500.000 for the enforcement of the law that we have enacted In the hope of keeping aliens out of the country is not much. We must stop the aliensmuggling system. The entie Immigration Service comes within $1.900.000 of paying all its expenses. and if we were to include the money coming from the Naturalization Service that cost sum would be reduced. Immigration visa procedure also brings in other great sunis not counted here. Through the head tax and through fines on steamships and others something like $5.000.000 comes back in the Federal Treasury. but not to the immigrant fund as it was in the old days. The opening of the Peace Bridge at Buffalo necessitated an increase of $50.000 in the cost in immigration.
