None of us. sir. and I repeat none of us. has any quarrel with the expressed purpose of this bill. S. 1851. The purpose expressed is to protect all of the borders of the United States against the illegal entry of aliens. I do wish to emphasize. most strongly. that we are not to labor under the illusion that this bill will accomplish that purpose. The immigration of aliens. legally or illegally. into this country is a national problem and a major one. It is no more so in south Texas and the Southwest than elsewhere. At times it is more evident and more dramatic along our Mexican border.
