I voted for the bill. hoping it will aid law enforcement. But I submit for your consideration that it will continue to be difficult to have real effective prohibition enforcement when officers and those sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States permit the illegal entry of more than a million aliens into our borders. many of whom are the scum of the Old World. who have no respect for our laws and who are adding materially to that great army of bootleggers. Many of these undesirable aliens are not only peddling booze but are bootlegging drugs and narcotics and contributing materially to the breaking down of law and order and lax enforcement in many quarters. Before introducing my resolution to make a thorough investigation as to the number of aliens who have entered the United States I made a rather extensive Investigation of the situation. If given an opportunity. I know that I can produce witnesses who will give the Congress information that is really astounding. I think it will be clearly demonstrated by investigation by a proper committee of Congress that not only are aliens bootlegged into the United States in large numbers and pay taken from them for their entry but in a great many instances the people who bootleg them into the country assist in having them deported after they have taken their money from them. Furthermore. gentlemen of the Congress. I am convinced that undeniable and indisputable evidence can be obtained where aliens have been brought in and paid the price of entry to immigration officers. then robbed of all the remaining money they had in their possession. beaten up. and deported shortly thereafter. I am assured that it can be demonstrated by an investigation that women have been brought into this country. the price paid for their entry in accordance with the custom of those who have been taking bribes for their illegal entry Into the United States. that these women have given birth to children shortly after their entry and left stranded. with no money and without proper medical attention.
