They must necessarily come on ships. and they are as carefully inspected and examined at Canadian ports as they are at United States ports. If an alien is not properly documented for Canada. he can not enter. If he intends to come to the United States. we have the American immigrant inspectors. right there to examine and pass upon his rights to enter the United States. so that number can not be very great. And the same applies as to European aliens coming through Mexico. I will admit that there have been several hundreds and several thousands entering the United States unlawfully. but surely not to such an extent as to create the menace and the dangers that have been depicted and described on the floor of this House today and on other occasions.
