I hope my amendment will be agreed to. It is fair and equitable. Let me say to the Senate. so that every Senator will understand. that whenever one of these persons is found in this country and returned by the Immigration Service. the farmer is billed for the expense of it. He pays the expense of the return. The bond should remain in effect for that purpose. I am not asking for cancellation of the bond where the men are found. but I am protesting against the farmer being required to pay a bond in cases where tl~e. parties have returned to Mexico. notwithstanding the fact that the immigration authorities may not have a record of it. The declaring of the bond forfeited. as the Immigration Service is trying to do. is a premature act. and it penalizes the farmer who is compelled to use immigrant labor in order to harvest his crops that are essential to the welfare of the entire country. I hope the amendment may be agreed to.
