Of course. when you go into that question you must consider this: We have a Canadian border of approximately 3.000 miles. We have a Mexican border of 2.500 miles. Do you know how many immigration officials we have to patrol those borders? We have 800 and some odd. They must work on an 8hour basis. and they must work in units of two. so that. for practical purposes. at one time you have only 60 units to patrol 3.000 miles. Therefore. it has been utterly impossible to prevent illegal entrance into the United States. As a matter of fact. the Congress has never made adequate appropriations for the purpose of enabling us to patrol the borders and to prohibit aliens from illegally entering the United States.
