Mexican and Canadian. The statistics come from the Department of Labor and from our former colleague. Commissioner General of Immigration Harry Hull. That statement does not necessarily mean that there are 50.000.000 different persons crossing the border each year. but 50.000.000 passengers. Some of those people pass back and forth each day. each week. each month. some once a year. I do not object to the unification of the border patrol to include the present customs border patrol and the immigration border patrol. But I do object to certain sections of the bill. It is true. although gentlemen may try to make you believe to the contrary. that niany customs men.and many immigration men are lukewarm. if not hostile. to the amalgamation of the services. You are students of government. and you know how often it has been tried in the history of local government to analgamate the policemen andfiremen in towns and cities. Firemen between fires have leisure.
