Mr. President. the question has been raised as to whether or not these immigrants are needed to perforinlabor. I claim that the record of the hearings befor the Senate Committee on Immigration. when it is carefully investigated. shows they are not needed. In the first place. I invite attention to the fact that the Association of Mexicans in Los Angeles have only recently passed resolutions concerning unemployment. They have criticized the situation and say they want to prevent more Mexicans from coming in. and depriving local Mexicans in the West of their jobs. They have been thrown out of employment in California by immigration. They state they have been receiving $1.50 to $2 a day for labor. The Mexican Association of Los Angeles only a few weeks ago adopted resolutions asking the Government of Mexico to stop Mexican immigration into the United States. The Mexicans themselves who are now out of employment in. California are appealing to their own Government of Mexico to prevent any more Mexicans coming into the United States.
