A recent survey by the New York Times indicated that over 500.000 are apprehended. as socalled wetbacks. who come in illegally. and that survey also indicated that for every one that is caught there are two others that are not caught. That would mean over a million and a half coming in without let or hindrance. There is an insufficient number of men on the border patrol. We have cut to ribbons the appropriations for the Immigration Service. so that it cannot now have an adequate number of men to police the border. I cannot conceive how this legislation has in any degree ameliorated the conditions with reference to the entrance of Communists into this country.
