A great deal of illegal entry comes through the Mexican and Canadian borders. It's a specialized form of immigration inspection. If they come in at one of the regular ports on a ship, then you have the manifest of the ship to aid you and you identify people. But the illegal entries take place in different ways. So the border patrol becomes very important.

He set up an age limit, specifying that they must be young, because old men with diabetes and rheumatism can't be expected to do the things that a border patrol has to do. In those days they rode horses mostly. During our reorganization we motorized a large part of the border patrol. I don't think they've yet been able to completely motorize the corps because in the searching for people who have came up into the mountains and places like that, they often have to go where no motor
