B. I. agents to about 1.500. In this bill we increase the personnel of our Immigration Service. particularly because of the situation along the Mexican border. I advocate the immediate passage of pending legislation to fingerprint and investigate the activities of all aliens. Every enemy alien ought to be deported at once. our immigration laws must be strengthened. and every effort made. and made promptly. to remedy a situation which we all recognize as serious. I believe the overwhelming majority of the people of this Nation are ready to support every official in the fight against this socalled "fifth column." I have called upon the Department of Justice to furnish the people information in order that the people may know how to cooperate with the officials of the Government In this campaign against those guilty of unAmerican activities. Already results are being achieved. but the real task is just beginning.
