In Kern County. Calif.. there are twice as many Mexicans as all other nationalities. and almost all aliens. In 1933. the California Joint Immigration Commission found 1.000.000 Mexicans living in that State. It has cost the Government $400.000 to support 2.500 Mexicans in Ray. the MiamiGlobe district. and Superior. Ariz.. since mines there closed permanently in 1932. They could have been deported for $5 a head. or $12.500. During the depression of 1921. the Harding administration sent 6.000 Mexicans home from this district. and 40.000 from Arizona as a whole. Now with conditions 10 times as bad. the Government taxes the people of the State to carry this unwanted alien burden.
