There is a slight difference. I want to call to the attention of the gentleman from Texas. to the illegal importation at the Canadian border and that at the Mexican border. He will find that a great many of the violations by unlawful entry from Canada are individual cases. while the information which was before time Committee on Immigration suggested that the unlawful importation of aliens from Mexico was on a wholesale scale. We had information which was presented at the time. The gentleman from California I believe. testified before the Committee on Immigration. that carloads of Mexicans with armed guards had been imported into northern States. It is not denied that a large number of Mexicans are working in the sugarbeet fields of Colorado and Utah. and that a great many of them have reached as far north as Michigan. What I want to suggest to the Members of the Iouse is this: As I understood the immigration law recently passed. at the last session. which I consider cruel. causing a great deal of hardship in individual cases. the policy was to protect labor in this country.
