The small farmer is gradually being sunk by this imported labor. as well. and perhaps more by these wetbacks. On the question of the wetback situation there is one weakness that perhaps this Congress is responsible for. and that is that the border down there is not policed. In your efforts to achieve economy. not only on the Mexican border. but at other ports of entry into the country. you have curtailed the policing ability of the department of immigration to do a good job. In addition to that. the wetback is encouraged. because the large farmers and corporation plantations. in both Texas and California. encourage the wetback because the wetback coming in illegally day after day and weekend after weekend has no defense when he is picked up.. He dare not squawk. and dare not present any evidence of violation of law. so far as the payment of wages. or hours. or housing conditions. and so on. are concerned because having come illegally into the country he can be fully exploited without any responsibility.
