Speech #830132596

I wish you would listen to this. It was only 2 years ago that the Congress knocked threemillionsomeoddthousand dollars out of an appropriation to give us sufficient protection at the border. to keep aliens from coming across the border unlawfully. Here is what Attorney General Brownell said: The Attorney General said that. in his opinion. congressional economies that cut the United States Border Patrol from 1.627 to about 1.100 members were pennywise and poundfoolish. Just 2 years ago this Congress committed that act. The Attorney General went on to say: For every dollar saved in that way. $20 must be spent later in American law enforcement. Let me tell you something more. In the city of Chicago the Immigration Department is having trouble with thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants who have infiltrated into Chicago by reason of this socalled cheap labor across our border. Let me call your attention to what Mr. McBee. who is in charge of immigration out in California. said: One smuggler. his men captured near El Paso broke down. confessed he was part of a nationwide ring headquartered in Chicago. If they are headquartered in Chicago. they are headquartered in Detroit. Los Angeles.
