I wonder if the Senator from California knows that this morning there was held a hearing conducted by a Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. and that testimony was offered to the effect that in 1951 we had about 600.000 migratory laborers who were American citizens or were legally resident in this country. and at the same time it was estimated that in the United States were more than 200.000 Mexicans who had come here illegally and who had not been deported in spite of efforts made to deport them. I wonder whether the Senator from Illinois will not agree with me that under the provisions of the pending bill. the purpose of which I believe is good. there is no way of punishing or even discouraging anyone in connection with the employment of a man or woman whom he knows is illegally in this country. Am I correct in that?
