No one knows exactly how great this invasion is today. We do know for a fact. however. that it has grown to fantastic proportions. For example. only 7.000 illegal Mexican wetbacks were picked up by the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1940. whereas 565.000 of these wetbacks were apprehended in the year 1950. There are some reliable estimates that more than 1.000.000 illegal farm laborers from Mexico entered this country in 1950 and I have not any doubt that. while I am standing here today. Mexican bracerosor stoop laborersare pouring across our southern border displacing American workers. reducing labor standards and spreading communicable diseases.
