Mr. Chairman. let me carry this cost situation just a little bit further. The official figures of the Labor Department are that 579.105 illegal aliens were reported during the year 1950. and that 98 percent of them are Mexican wetbacks. If you take that figure between the House bill and the Senate bill of $10 and the actual cost of $35 alone. the Federal Government is going to have to pay $25 on each one of them. Suppose you bring in the 125.000 laborers they say they need in southern California and the approximately 200.COO that they say they need in the Delta States. and probably another 100.000 in the State of Texas. why.
