We are dependent upon transient labor anyway. and we know from the experience that we have had now over a period of several years that there is not any appreciable danger to look for on that score. The other propositions that are involved as to the habits of the Mexicans. what they do. etc.. have doubtless been rehashed before you several times. and I do not want to take up any more time on that feature. I do. however. want to emphasize that I feel we would be making a tremendous international mistake if we put up the proposed immigration bars against contiguous. friendly neighboring countries. and especially so if we put up that sort of a bar against our neighbor on -the north. Even with the splendid assistance of Colonel Lindbergh our international relations are sufficiently strained now.
