DEPORTED
OFFICER SAYS
Investigation Follows
Alleged Wholesale
Deportations

Fewer Mexican aliens we're deport-
ed during the last month from this
district than any previous month,
ID. w. Brewster. immigration inspect
or in charge, declared Monday after
he had made a thorough investiga-
ton into the reported alleged illegal
Wholesale deportations at Donna.
Figures from the Hidalgo office show
SO deportations from Weslaco, Dom
na, San Juan and Alamo. of which
80 were named in an anonymous
letter received by immigration in
spectors.
This number is in reality a little
lower than the average for any
month, the immigration chief declar-
ed.
Inspector Brewster's investigation
followed statements by Donna citi-
gems that more than 200 Mexican la
borers had been deported without
just cause. Attention Of Congress
man Garner was called to the alleg-
ed deportations by a telegram, who
called at the immigration department
in Washington. Brewster was wired
by the department and his investiga-
tion was made Saturday afternoon.
The complete record on the affair
was sent into W~ashingtc1 Monday.
"The department certainly has not
at any time deported anyone who has
n legal right TO remain in the United
States Brewster said. "Itisinterest-
ing TO note that Of the 60 aliens de-
ported from the Hidalgo sector.
some eight or ten were apprehended
at the river while attempting to en-
ter without paying the head tax. A
large majority were undesirable,
such as prostitutes and bootleggers.
and have never at any time worked
on farms here. Ny investigation
cleared up the entire affair. and ev-
eryone at Donna was satisfied that
no illegal deportations were being
made"
