A moment ago. when we were discussing the question of illegal entry. it occurred to me that some testimony was given recently before a committee of which I and the Senator from Iowa were members. The Assistant Commissioner of Immigration testified before our committee. when he appeared there in regard to another matter. that on the southern border. for the first 7 months of this year. 99.000 persons have actually been apprehended. Of course. he had no knowledge of how many other persons had crossed the border and had not been apprehended. He further testified that the problem is increasing to such an extent that they expect in the coming year to apprehend nearly 200.000.
