Running Aliens
Easy Work For
BoOtleggers Now

Grand Forks, North Dakota. Dec.
= CA. P.)--Tightening of the immi-
grafton restrictions has turned many
erstwhile liquor runners 10 the less
hazardous occupation Of smuggling
aliens into the United States from
Canada, according to william Flynn,
director in charge Of this immigra-
ton district.
Two hundred men keep watchcul
eyes on some LOO miles Of border
lire under Mr.. Flynn's direction. AMI
It is inevitable that this small force
cannot keep under constant obserra-
tion every mile of the line.
There are two principal methods
employed in smuggling aliens, dc-
cording to Mr.. Flynn. One Is for
the alien desiring to enter the INIT
ed States TO work his way to some
city near the border and then wdtcn
for an opportunity to walk across the
border.
The other and more common meth
cd is for veteran smugglers to load
an automobile with aliens and drive
across the border, dumping them
down at almost any place. with no
particular regard as to the POSSIBLE
ity of the aliens being taken into
custody within short time.
These smugglers invariably leave
the alien with very little money. Mr.
Flynn declares. and it is easy for tie
snIuggler to average 500 for each
person thus illegally transported. As
rule the foreigners are driven only
a mile or two across the border, but
occasionally they are taken to .oms
town on the United States side, per-
haps several miles from the line.
While deportation has been com
mon practice, prosecution is being
followed in this district and SIS get
ting good results" Mr.. Flynn said, ;.s
1.-THE prospects OF from three months
to year in prison Is not so inviting
TO aliens as the mere prospect of be-
ing deported."
The alien runner has been known
to make from $500 to $1,000 on one
trip. Unlike the running Of liquor.
there Is no original investment and
no prospect of losing ut.~as he coll
lects in advance from his clients
and then dumps them at the first
available spot without danger 10
himself.
