For instance. in my Stateand the same situation prevails in a great many other Stateswhen foreign labor comes into our country for the purpose of harvesting a certain crop. as soon as that crop is harvested they must leave. although there may be another crop which must be harvested perhaps 5 or 10 or 20 miles away. yet under the existing regulations when the workers have completed harvesting the crop on which they were engaged it is necessary to ship them 500 miles down to the Mexican border. and then to reimport them and bring them back perhaps within 10 miles of the point at which they were previously working. My amendment will eliminate the necessity for doing that. To that extent I believe it is an economy measure. It provides the necessary safeguards of the posting of a bond with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and it requires that the conditions of employment be satisfactory to the Mexican Government as well.
