I will give the particular instance I have in mind. In the beet fields in the West there is a great seasonal demand for labor. there have been times when American citizens were all at work. and could not be obtained. and it has then ben necessary to go into northern Mexico and.bring in seasonal workers. simply because there was no American labor available. If in periods of prosperitynot nowit should become necessary to allow a greater percentage of noncitizens to be employed. I wonder if the Senator would consider a limitation of 10 percent only if American labor is available? Such an exemption from the limits of the Senators amendment would not be for the benefit of the alien. but for the benefit of American industry.
