Mr. Garis says: It is difficult to see how the court could hold otherwise except in the case of those persons living there who can properly be designated as " white" or "Caucasian ". the burden of proof being upon the person seeking admission to the United States. The Immigration Act of 1924 states that all persons ineligible for citizenship under our naturalization law shall be excluded from the United States. So from every angle of approach. when we consider the Mexicans who came across the border without any permit to do so or those who came without complying with the literacy test and other requirements. or those who are ineligible on account of their Indian blood. it is certainly a conservative statement to say that there are 500.000 Mexicans who are illegally in the United States. In my speech of May 20 I also stated that there were 500.000 aliens who entered the country illegally in the guise of seamen and who became lost in our population. Since some of my figures have been challenged.

Mexicans are entering the country illegally and are ineligible due to their Indian blood.
