Men. planes. jeeps. marshalled from all quarters of the country cooperated in rounding up thousands of illegal laborers. Buses were used to convey them to places near the border. whence with the cooperation of Mexican officials. they were moved to the interior of Mexico. Advanced public announcement of what was going on played an important part in this campaign to such an extent that in the summer of 1954. without any cost to the Government and entirely unassisted. about 65.000 illegal aliens returned to Mexico of their own accord. From California they fled at a rate that was impossible to compute. and as the conditions along the border improved the work of rooting out the illegal aliens moved to industrial centers in Los Angeles. San Francisco. Chicago. and other metropolitan centers.
