There is no material available on which to base an exact estimate of the number of Mexicans in the United States at th2 present time. According to the returns of the Fourteenth Census. there were 738.463 persons in the United States in 1920 reported as born in Mexico or having one or both parents born in Mexico. The reports of the Immgration Commission from January 1. 1920. to June 30. 1929. show an increase of 429.221 Mexicans. the excess of the Mexican Immigrants over emigrants. This would give a total of 1.167.684 Mexicans in the United States at the present time. making no allowance for births and deaths among Mexicans in the United States in the last nine and a half years. or for Mexicans who may have entered the country illegally during that period. I do not know where Doctor Goldberg obtained the basis for his estimate of approximately 3.000.000 Mexicans in the United States at the present time.
