...hundred heads were bowed, two hundred pencils making brisk, black marks in blue booklets: it was a typical examination day at Princeton. Suddenly from the back of the room came a growing clamor.

The annual invasion has grown bigger & bigger-despite legislation, public clamor, the hardships which the wetbacks suffer, and the best efforts of the U.S. border patrol, which caught and shipped 635,135 of them home (many of them repeaters) during 1952 alone...
