The Senator from Alabama has properly called attention to. and during this whole debate .repeated comment has been made about. the large number of persons who have entered this country illegally. Personally I think the figures have been exaggerated. though I think it is deplorable that there are so many immigrants smuggled into the country. I wish to inquire what steps have been taken by anyone in this body. in the other Chamber. or by the administration to increase the number of immigration. inspectors or to secure additional appropriations so as to prevent the "bootlegging" of immigrants into this country? Why are not those who are urging more and more limitations upon the immigrant doing something effective to stop smuggling and bootlegging of foreigners who seek and enter the country illegally?
