Speech #820165631

I should like to have Senators answer the statement of Archbishop Lucey. of San Antonio. Tex.. who testified before the committee with respect to the nature of the wetback problem. I should like to have Senators say why it is. even though 500.000 deportations of wetbacks took place last year. that nevertheless we still have a million or more wetbacks living in this country. The explanation. as was pointed out in the testimony. lies in the lack of enforcement. Leaders of religion. lawyers. and members of the Government have testified that unless the wetback legislation is tightened up along the lines proposed by the Senator from Illinois. there is no solution to the problem.
