But those figures are given to the Bureau of Immigration by the masters of the ships. We know there are thousands of other immigrants in the United States who come over the Mexican border. or come in from Canada. or Cuba. and are not here legally. and certainly. the Department of Labor has not the figures of how many there are. We know there are 1.100 seamen and that probably means that there are thousands who have come in unknown to the Department of Labor. As the gentlerian from Teas . has said: "This bill does not interfere with any treaties we have with foreign nations." This is not a question of whether you are in favor of the immigration laws or not. I do not agree with my distinguished colleague from Virginia that we ought to restrict immigration as tightly as we do. I am on the other end of that picture. but I believe when people are coming into the United States illegally we ought to deport them whether they come in as alien seamen or come in over the Mexican border. or over the Canadian border. or in any other way. If they are illegally in the United States we ought to deport them and. this is one measure that will actually deport people who have no right to be in here under the laws of the United States.
