Mr. Chairman. my amendment seeks to strike out an amount of $4.000.000 in this bill for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. In the regular appropriation bill. which has not yet been signed by the President of the United States. the Congress has agreed to an amount of $37.000.000 plus for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Now. before the ink is dry on that bill. in comes a supplementary tequest for $4.000.000. I understand this is to implement a bill which this House recently passed for the bringing in of labor from Mexico. But while that bill was being considered on the floor of this House. many Members stood up here and said: "Now. this is going to cost the taxpayers of America almost nothing." But. in my book. $4.000.000 is not just exactly nothing by a long shot.
