Speech #710175298

I read further from the memorandum submitted by Mr. Carr. as follows: The following table. taken from annual reports of the Commissioner General of Immigration. shows the immigration of aliens of Mexican birth into the United States for the five fiscal years since the operation of the Immigration act of 1924 (by fiscal year ending June 30) : ] 1925 ------------------------------------------------ - 50.602 192 ------------------------1------ ..........---......--5S. 012 1927. --------------------------------------------------- 77. 162 1928 -----------------------------------------. 58. 45(i 19291------------------------------------------o 1 50 1929 ~ ~~ -- ... .. ... .. .. ... .. .. ... .. ... .. .. ... .. .- 39.501 Total -------------------------------------------- 283. 733 Average per year ---------------------------------------- 56. 747 Average per month --------------------------------------- 4.729 Then I quote the concluding paragraph. which is most interesting d which fully justifies the statement I have made to the Senate. One of tile most striking features of the recent decrease in Mxican immigration is that during the past nine months only 1.165 out of the 10.483 total were common laborers without a previous residence in this country. The latter class of Mexican immigration is therefore now entering the United States at a rate of only 1.599 per antun. Only 74 such laborers received visas dtring March. usually one of the heaviest months in the year for the movement of Mexican labor to this country. All analysis of the Mexicans who have received visas during the present fiscal year shows the following: Per cent A. Persons going to tie United States to attend school -------- 14.9 B. Residents of the United States for purposes of regularizing status ------------------------------------------ 20. 7 C.
