Border Patrol Has Qualities Which Give Fighting Protection for
Stream of National Life While New Laws Have Aided
in Freedom From Slum Recruits

annual immigration OF 429,551 in the
10-year period just prior. Moreover,
for the last six Of the seven-year
period, the annual average of en-
trants dropped to 44,090. There was
also in the seven years an excess of
arrivals over departures Of 87S97,
while in the decade there was an
excess of arrivals over departures Of
3,012,78O.
So far as naturalizations, derivative
citizenships and deaths are concerned,
we may consider broadly the 2O-year
period from 1917 to 1886 inclusive. In
that time a total of 8,716,972 indi-
viduals either left the country, be-
came naturalized, derived citizenship
through some one else 's.naturalizat ton,
or died. All these subtractions from
an alien population that had only
been increased in the period by S.
34090l immigrants. AS a matter of
fact, last years figures in the De-
partment of Labor show that for
every alien added to our population,
there was decrease Of about eight
aliens, by one means or another.
These facts and figures do not take
into consideration, Of course, those
aliens who entered the United States
illegally. There is no way Of esti-
mating exactly what the proportion
Of these might be, although some ex-
perts have judged variously all the way
from 100000 to 100000 unlawful
entries at present in the United States.
The late Secretary William Doak had
estimated that there were not more
than 100000 aliens illegally in the
country and subject to deportation,
and after survey of the situation a
year or two ago, the late Commis-
sioner MacCormack reached the con-
clusion that this estimate was more
nearly accurate than others.
THE biggest factor in keeping down
the number of illegal entries into
the United States, is, Of course, the
immigration Border Patrol. The
greatest problem the Labor Depart
ment has to face Is the prevention OF
illegal entry at unguarded points on
our Northern and Southern frontiers,
and this is the mission of the border
patrol. It is an organization which
the department. and with reason, per-
mits itself to get a bit puffed up about.
With reason, because, in 1888 alone,
in period when the total legal i'm
migration was 23,o6s, the Immigra-
ton Border Patrol caught 21,809 per-
sons who had entered or were in the
act of entering the country illegally.
The battle line Is the international
boundary. There are $500 miles Of
it, extending from Eastport, Me-, to
Port Angeles, Wash; from Corpus
Christi, Tex, to San Yddro. Calf,
plus most OF the Florida East Coast
from Jacksonville to Key West. We

Mr.. Shaughnessy presents two very
graphic examples of the inadequacy of
the present set-up.
Take the cases of aliens A and B."
suggests the commissioner. "A is a
person who has been in the United
States for possibly IS years and has
spent a great proportion of that time
in jail and tn other penal institutions.
However, he was not sentenced within
five years after his entry to imprison-
ment for year or more for crime in
volving moral turpitude, nor has he,
during the 15-year period Of residence,
been sentenced on more than one oc-
casion to a period of one year or more
for crimes involving moral turpitude.
He Is, nevertheless, confirmed
criminal, a social menace and clearly
should be deported. Yet, because of
the extreme technicalities of existing
law concerning the expulsion of GRIM
lnalS, ne is immune from deportation
Let us now take the case of B. He
entered the United States in the latter
part Of 1924 as a non-immigrant in
ternational trader. AS an international
trader, it was necessary for him to
conduct a business involving a pre-
ponderance OF international trade.
But In the course of time. the business
developed in such a manner that he
eventually found himself a domestic
merchant. He, therefore, failed to
maintain his status as a non -imIni-
grant international trader and auto
matically became subject to deporta-
ton. He is man of excellent char
acter, and in the 13 years which have
elapsed since his entry in 1924, he
has acquired an American citizen
family dependent upon him. ask
these inquisitors which they would
prefer to deport, A or B. OF course.
they Immediately say they would de-
port A and leave B here. Yet under
the law We must deport B and can
not deport A. It Is a situation 80
ridiculous it is hard to understand.
The legislation we propose would cor
rect this condition"
THERE are well-defined reasons for
the extraordinary falling off in
our alien population. One of these is
that an increased number of immi-
grants Is taking out naturalization
papers: another reason is emigra-
tions; third. the derivative citizen
ship of minors through the naturali-
zation OF parents or of wives through
their husbands; and fourth, decrease
through deaths. All of these factors
have played an important part in
reducing our alien population in the
last seven years. AS stated, annual
immigrations during this seven-year
period have been almost insignificant
compared with immigrations in. the
previous decade. The annual stream
numbered only about 71,177 for the
past seven years, compared with an

~ NCE on a time We heard lot
about THE vanishing Aneri-
I can"-now it is "the vanishing
~ alien" The polyglot ingredi-
ents of our far-famed "melting-pot"
have simmered, it seems, into a pretty
fine dish. America has awakened to
the fact that, as a Nation, we are all
speaking the same language, and that
Schmidt, Rosenbloom or Sokolsky are
sending the Marys and Johns of the
second generation off to college with
the same pride and regularity as those
sturdy suburbanites, Brown and Jones.
Our foreign population has, indeed,
become so negligible a factor in our
national life. that where once swarm
ing thousands, from the ferry to the
east Thirties Of the metropolis
shrieked or chartered in exotic tongues
and gesticulated in South-European
or Oriental abandon, today before rows
the front steps and converse with their
neighbors without accent, and self
contained and portly men from other
lands josh their customers in stout
American slang.
We have at last. for the first time
since the discovery of the land, basis
for homogeneous population, and the
latest announcements from the Divi-
sion of immigration and Naturaliza-
ton of the United States Department
of Labor, prove it. Out Of the WASH
ington office, prosaically buried in COL
umns of figures and tabulations,
springs an astonishing fact. The whole
social fabric of the United States, with
the assimilation of the immigrant is
changing. America has lost its polyglot
fringe In the last seven years only
100000 aliens have been given entry
into this country, whereas a decade
previously 1900, 900 flowed in from the
suppressed classes of Eastern Europe.
This is not all. Continuous as has
been the decline in the number land
ing upon our shores, knowing nothing
Of our tongue and as little Of our
ideals or customs, in the years directly
ahead entry will be upon even more
selective basis than 1t has been in
the immediate past, and there is now
before Congress a measure for con-
sideration that will facilitate the de-
portation Of the undesirables and per-
NIT us to retain the illegally present
who have proved to be of value in our
midst.

 South saw a better line. He won the club trick with the ace, picked up the trump with two leads, then cashed the ace and king of hearts, and ruffed @ heart in his own hand. A small trump was led and another heart ruff put the declarer in the lead. t.,
 His next play was his last club, which he felt sure West must win, as his opening lead had indicated the queen of that suit. Sure enough, West won the trick--and now what ever play he made South could lose but two more tricks,
