Speech #740021082

I think. when I concede that there may be 1.000.000 now here unlawfully. I do not concede that figure. but I say if I do concede that figure. then I would be quite generous. I have some figures from the Immigration and Naturalization which may throw some light on this question of aliens now unlawfully in the United States. In 1927 there were about 23.447 seamen who deserted their ship in United States ports. in 1930. there were only 9.117 deserting seamen. while in 1934 only 972 seamen deserted here. In 1927. 1.906 stowaways were found on ships arriving at United States ports. in 1930 there were only 1.048 stowaways. while in 1934 the number of stowaways dropped to only 425. Mr. Chairman.
