No. the responsible authorities of the Mexican Government have announced consistently for years that they do not desire their people to leave their country. When the American Government. through its consuls. applied as strictly in Mexico as they did in Europe the provisions of section 3 of the immigration act of 1917. which provides that visas shall not be granted to contract laborers. to illiterates. and to those likely to .become a public charge. and so forth. the Mexican Government did not object. Upon the other hand. the Mexican authorities were glad that this was being done. and adopted a similar regulation and Instruction to their own consuls with respect to foreigners coming into their country seeking labor.
