Yes. The Senators from Arizona can say to the Senator from Massachusetts what I say to him now: That does not demonstrate at all the number of Mexicans who come into this country. The Mexicans coming across our border do not bother to get visas. I instanced the other day. as showing the mode in which they came. the head tax that we put upon them four. five. or six years ago. We put an $18 head tax. as I recall. upon every Mexican coming into this country. The year previous there were 87.000 Mexicans who came in here. The year we put the head tax on I think there were 32.000. and yet there was a complete demonstration. and I think the fact is admitted that the numbers coming each year were substantially the same.
