US is not alone in illegal immigration.

The Pakistan Coast Guards (PCG), arrested 28 persons including 17 Afghan Nationals on suspicion of illegal immigrants, said a PCG press.

Please see if you can catch what is different about these arrest. ONE WORD SHOULD point it out.

National Affairs

The Borders

Apr. 28, 1924

No limitation is set on immigration into the U. S. from any North, South

or Central American country, and none is contained in any legislation

now before Congress.

Senator Willis, big Ohio Republican, proposed an amendment to restrict

passage of residents of Canada and Mexico across the borders.

"What does it amount to," cried he, "to shut and padlock the front door

and leave the back door open?" The Senate, 60 to 12, refused to

recognize the force of his interjection. Said Pennsylvanian Reed:

"This is absolutely unnecessary.* This is unwise if we are to pay any

attention to the Pan-American idea." And Senator Fess (from Ohio,

like Mr. Willis) cautioned: "It will disturb our relations."; New Mexican

Bursum added: "We had $200,000,000 trade with Mexico last year. We

may have $1,000,000,000 soon." A last vain attempt to close the border

was made by West Virginian Neeley: "Why shut out the golddiggers of Italy

and citizens of Norway and let in the bull-baiters and toad-eaters from

Mexico?"

But the border terror was taken more seriously in the House. Immigration

Commissioner Husband reported to the Immigration Committee that the

illegal admissions on the border, were five times as great as the legal; that

Canadian smugglers did regular business in Asiatics at $500 a head; that

whereas he had 61 officials on the borders, he needed 486 in order to stop

75% of the illegal immigration. Representative Johnson, author of the

Immigration Bill, promptly went to the floor of the House, declared that the

House must vote the money to enforce its immigration ideas. An additional

$1,238,000 was promptly voted to the department of labor for the Immigration

Bureau. This appropriation does not affect the Immigration Law; it merely

provides for its stricter enforcement. Its purpose is to accomplish by

enforcement what Senator Willis desired to do by new legislation.

* He stated that last year the net immigration from South and Central America was only 4,015.
