We have wetbacks in our employ today. In fact. one of our associations representatives is in El Centro and Calexico today legalizing wetbacks." Arizona has the least wetback traffic. This unequal access to wetback labor causes resentment. as is well expressed in the testimony of the manager of the Arizona Cooperative Cotton Growers Association: "Our farmers for several years have had a continuous and loud complaint that their friends and acquaintances in other bordering States have a comparatively large supply of wetback labor. while in Arizona the border patrol very successfully and carefully enfo es the law against illegal aliens on the ranches. We have never tried to exert pressure to have this enforcement relieved. but we do want to call the attention of high figures (officials) to the fact that the other States should be treated alike. that if enfqrcement is being relaxed in other States. it should be relaxed in Arizona. that if enforcement is going to be strict in Arizona. we want it strict in other States."
