We are using a weapon that is wholly foreign to American concepts of justice. This country is too great to resort to that. That great humanitarian. President Roosevelt. would have never tolerated any such inhumanity to poor people seeking a livelihood. Our immigration officials can. if they will. cope with the problem. Proof of that is that this last year they returned over 600.000 illegal Mexican entrants back to Mexico. The trouble is that the border officials are not enforcing the law in some places as they are in Arizona and New Mexico. where there is no problem of excessive illegal immigration.
