They had no business here. Mexico did not want them. We did not want them. but we were the sufferers because we had our border patrol. Our immigration inspectors were alert enough to pick them up and send them back. Now. because of this deficiency and because of this expenditure. they now want to reduce the personnel of the immigration and border patrol by turning them off. In other words. they want to take it out of the Immigration Service. out of the personnel. A month ago the Secretary of Laborwho in my opinion has rendered some valuable service and who is an able and honest manissued an order laying off 10 per cent of the entire service. which includes. as I said a moment ago. 10 per cent of 3.669 men. So I appeal to you that it would be a discrimination against a group of 10 per cent to lay them offin other words. to discharge them for six months.
