Sections 501 and 504 of the Poage bill. on the other hand. provide that Mexican workers already in this country. even if they are here illegally. may be recruited and permitted to remain here if the Mexican Government so agrees. Under the Ellender bill these sections would be corrected so that recruitment would be authorized only in the case of these lexican workers who have legally entered the United States. The approval of the Ellender bill as a substitute for H. R. 3283 will provide sound standby legislation for obtaining Mexican contract labor to the extent necessary during the present national emergency. It will correct the defects in the machinery provided by H. R. 3283 and. above all. it will create for the first time effective remedies for the gradual control and eventual abolition of the wetback system.
