Mr. Speaker. some weeks ago the gentleman from Texas [Mr. Box] made a speech on the floor setting forth conditions on the Mexican border with respect to immigration. Among other things. he made statements which led his hearers to believe that the Department of Labor. or the Bureau of Immigration under that department. had entered into an agreement with employers of labor in the United States to admit laborers from Mexico. and also to permit such Mexicans as had illegally entered this countryto remain here and that in spite of the fact that they had violated our laws by bntering the United States. This presented to me a very serious situation. *serious not only in so far as It reflected upon the administration of our immigration laws. but serious from the standpoint of the citizenship of this country. Desiring to obtain definite information. I addressed a letter to the Assistant Secretary of Labor.
