Allow me to. state that Congress never made any provision with reference to. that matter in New Mexico. Most people. I believe. no not appreciate our condition. It was not. as in other localities. a case of- immigrants coming to this country and assimilating with the already existing population. It was a case ofconfbrming the laws or policy of this country to meet the condition ofpeople who. with their ancestors. had been livingthere two or three hundred years. The boundary lines of this country were simply extended around our people. They did not come into a new country. they remained in their own.
