Here I have a report from the Commissioner of Immigration for the year 1928. On page 154 of this highly informative document he will find. in Table No. 56. the facts relative to "Aliens deported (under warrant proceedings) after entering the United States. fiscal year ended June 30. 1928. by race or people and causes." In that entire year. the latest for which we have available statistics. the total number deported for the entire United States was 11.625. Of that number. only 681 are shown to have been deported as " criminals after entry." In other words. this amounts to less than 6 per cent. Now. the gentleman wants to know from what countries these deported persons came. This table furnishes that information. too. Of the 681 deported under the aforementioned head. 191 were returned to Mexico. It may surprise some Members of this House to know that neither the second largest number of those deported. nor the third largest number of those deported. came from any of the lnuchnaligned southeastern European countries. but from the socalled Nordic races. so much championed here. Now. gentlemen. I dislike very much to point out the shortcomings of any people. But I feel that It is nothing short of my duty to give the country the facts on the situation. The second largest number of aliens deported as "criminals after entry " were English. of which there were 79 Among the various races we note that 46 French were deported. also 58 Italiansa considerable number. perhaps. yet 21 fewer than of British. Deportations of some of the nationalities were: Czechoslovakian. 5. Bohemian and Moravian. none. Lithuanian. none.
