They are not attempting to import Mexicans to -work at a wage which is not a living wage in this country. What we need is not more hands. If we are going to have immigration. we ought to have more citizens. When it is attempted to put the idea of foreign immigration on the basis of how many hands we can have to work on the plan. we are descending to a level that the American people do not approve. I deny that the people of this land will not perform any duty or any labor for which they can be employed if they are paid sufficient wages There is the trouble. When anyone talks to me about the American not working in the sugarbeet fields.
