Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. I have not been in full accord with all that this bill carries. but members of the Committee on Immigration and I personally have been very much interested in the better enforcement of our laws against the illicit importation of intoxicants and the unlawful entry of aliens. I believe this bill will make for the better enforcement of the law without doing anything seriously Irritating to our neighbors or seriously troublesome to those of us who go back and forth across the borders. The establishment of a greater force like this. better supported than any of the border patrols we now have. will command the respect of the country. will command the attention and support of Congress. and will. on the whole. bring about better results than we are now getting. Members of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization were instrumental in helping to create the original immigration border patrol. We have known that it has been insufficient in numbers. equipment. and financial support. I have for years urged the increase of its authority and personnel.
