We cannot lock him up at night. If we did. we could be indicted for peonage. We cannot stop him if he wants to walk away. yet they make us give a bond of $25 for a person over whom we have no control. by which we are expected to guarantee to deliver him to the Mexican border." They say. "We have asked the State Department and Immigration Service: Why do you not let us hold $25 out of the mans pay? We will give it to him when he leaves the country. we will insure accountability. let us make him a party and let us keep $25 or $50 out of his pay and if necessary turn it over to the Immigration Service and let it be delivered to the Mexican worker when he reports at the point of exit from the United States." "Oh. no! We cannot do that." Fortunately. we now have a man at the head of this Service there in the State Department who appeared before our committee. and if you will read the hearings you will see where he testified that the arrangement we have now is unsatisfactory and that he intends to devote his time to bringing about a correction of it. Our committee is working for that and we intend to keep on working for it.
