I would like to answer the question raised by the gentleman from Michigan . The bond would be forfeited. That is what the law provides now. This amendment would relieve him from forfeiting that bond. Your Michigan farmer would have to pay $25 unless he went and arrested these employees and held them and turned them over to the immigration authorities. If he did that. then he would be indicted and convicted of peonage. That is the reason for this language in this bill. The farmer is helpless to protect himself. The State Department needs to work out a better system than we have now.
