So this whole subject. if properly dealt with. in my opinion. should have gone to that committee. Unless we are going to refer legislation on the basis of who employs the particular labor involved. then this legislation should have been considered. in the first place. by the Labor Committee. So I say. at this time. we should keep our promise to the Republic of Mexico. We should put a penalty on the hiring of wetbacks and force the employers to rely on local or legal contract labor. This whole situation arises from a defect in our laws. We already have a law which we thought prevented the harboring and concealing of aliens illegally in this country.
