According to information ELECTED
from the United States immigration
service quarters in Laredo, Texas, the
smuggling of Mexican laborers into
this country at this time is the heaV-
lest ever known along the border, due
primarily to the fact that the immigra-
ton department has an insufficient
force of mounted immigration inspec-
tors to cover the area through which
the Mexican laborers are smuggling
themselves in, that area being points
between the regular ports of entry and
extending from FL Paso on the west
