"Bootleg Styles in Immigration", Literary Digest

This article warns that thousands of "undesirable" immigrants are sneaking into the U.S. by pretending to be sailors, using a loophole in the La Follette Seamen's Act. It claims that many jump ship at ports and disappear into the country, overwhelming immigration enforcement. Critics argue that this loophole is being abused and say immigration laws should be more strictly enforced to prevent illegal entry.
