Session #80 · 1947–49

Speech #800180912

I am still reading from the annual report. under the caption of immigrants and nonimmigrants. page 15: During the fiscal year 1947. there were 323.422 aliens (exclusive of bordercrossers. Mexican agricultural laborers. and crewmen) who departed from the United States. Only 22.501 were emigrants. i. e.. aliens who left a permanent residence in the United States for a permanent residence abroad. 17.511 nonimmigrants were resident aliens who planned to return to the United States after a temporary stay abroad. and 283.410 were aliens who had been admitted as visitors. persons in transit. and others temporarily admitted. Mr. President. that does not portray a bad picture. I will say to my able friend. if those figures are correct. of what the immigration officials are doing in the way of checking persons who are in this country. I do not say they get them all. but that is a pretty impressive showing. so far as I am concerned.
