Description
"The sky fall down, I think," said an illegal alien. But it was shifting tons of steel pipe slamming down upon him in his freight train "pullman" that he had heard. He was the second of three illegal aliens that crawled out from the crush of steel pipes, and into the hands of his rescue "welcoming committee". Photo dated: March 3, 1953.
