Mr. Speaker. It would give the Committee on Immigration the power to make a study of all existing statutes. Executive orders. rules. regulations. instructions. and general orders which relate to immigration. deportation. naturalization. and expatriation. and. second. to investigate the unlawful entry and smuggling of aliens into the United States and to recommend effective methods or laws to meet this problem. Who in this House objects to that kind of an investigation? Who in this membership wants to see the gates opened and this country flooded with all sorts of undesirable aliens? Mr. Speaker. as recently as several months ago some Mexicans. through an international smuggling ring. which the committee could have checked if it had the power which the resolution I have referred to would have given them. threw over our borders over a hundred Chinamen. We picked up some of them. The Department could not pick up all of them. because the Mexican border is 6.000 miles long. and with a patrol of only a little over 100 men it is impossible to patrol a border of 6.000 miles. Our border patrol is ineffective for this reason. and something should be done to correct that serious situation.
