The truth of the matter is that farmers and ranchers of the United States would much prefer American nationals. if they were available. for they are more skilled. more steady and more dependable. and they create much less difficulty. The provisions of this legislation dealIng with search and seizure are. it seems to many of us. so foreign to our wellestablished judicial process as to be dangerous. So far as I know. no rancher or farmer has refused or will refuse to permit any border patrolman access to his land in the performance of his official duty. The people of our part of the country love their land. their ranches. and their farms and they take great pride in the operation and development of them. Their lands are indeed their kingdoms. small or large. and they want to be sure that they have something to say about who comes trampling over them.
