Without the sanctions which my amendment involves you have here an engraved invitation for the predatory interests along the border. the huge cotton growers in Texas and Arizona and New MexicoI do not speak of the small cotton growersand the huge citrusplantation owners. for example. in the Imperial Valley to go into Mexico and induce people. smugglers. and procurers to round up all these wetbacks and bring thdm in and sweat them on the plantations and on the ranches. and on the huge farms. I wager that if the penalties are added to this bill. it would be defeated. Why do I offer this amendment in addition? Attempts have been made earnestly and sincerely by the border patrol of the Immigration Office to prevent the coming into this country of these huge numbers of wetbacks. They collared 600.000 in the last fiscal year. and for every one that is picked up there are two or three others who are not apprehended. They anticipate an invasion this fiscal year of over a million wetbacks.
