Borders In 1946 WASHINGTON The Immigra tion Service has informed Attorney General Tom Clark that an esti mated 60,000 aliens have illegally slipped into the United States this year, a high immigration official disclosed recently. The border patrol arrested 30,000 aliens who had illegally crossed the Mexican border during January, February and March of this year," the official, who can not be identified, told a reporter. He added: "The number of persons Rain ing illegal entry in addition to those apprehended is variously estimated up to the number caught. From March to the present, the number of apprehensions held up to the figures for the first three months of the year, although no specific figures are available." In addition to unlawful entries on the Mexican border, an unde termined number of aliens ille gally crossed the Canadian boun dary, the official said. During 1945, he said, 67,584 aliens illegally crossed the Cana dian and Mexican borders. From HO to 85 per cent were Mexicans, "The press of aliens to enter illegally to take advantage of high wartime wage levels has not abated,' "this official said. "The border patrol just isn't big enough to stop all of them. "In order to better cope with i he problem, we have shifted de tails of patrolmen from other parts of the country to the southern internal ional border." The official noted that "many farmers and ranchers are willing io employ alien laborers who have entered the country unlawfully. Some order the border patrol from 'heir property when our men try lo check up on their labor force."
