First. to unify tme present patrol services of the Government upon the Canadian and Mexican borders. second. to make more effective. if possible. the enforcement of the laws of the country at those borders. and third. to add to the convenience of those lawfully crossing the borders of the country. There are now two principal patrol servicts on the borders. There is the patrol service maintained by the Immigration Bureau of the Department of Labor which now has 847 patrolmen. I am not now speaking of the administrative officers of immigration. but solely of those men whose duty it is to patrol the borders in the enforcement of the imuigration laws. The immigration patrol service came into being along with the restrictive immigration laws. I believe the first act was passed in 1924. It is an excellent service. It is in uniform. and the men carry arms. It is rendering a splendid service in the enforcement of the immigration laws. There is also tihe fine service maintained by the Customs Bureau of the Treasury Department. In that service at present there are 722 men. making a total in the two services of 1.569 Inen.
