I do. I think we would unduly irritate Mexico if we should adopt it. The provision in question was inserted at our request. and for us now to renege on it and adopt something else contrary to it would only result in irritating Mexico. There is no purpose to interfere with the immigration laws except to permit our workmen to go over into Mexico and do the necessary work. Under the Mexican law as it now stands. that cannot occur. All the work which is done in Mexico would. under existing Mexican law. have to be done by Mexican citizens.
