Charges that 10,000 aliens barred by the immigration law filtered in the U.S. during the past year and that the purpose of the immigration law is being constantly defeated by the pressure brought to bear by friends of excluded immigrants is contained in a series of articles being run by The New York Tribune.

Immigrant smuggling has obtained the status of a regular business on the border, he contends.
