Unquestionably. I want to again impress upon you that we do not want cheap. illegal labor in the Southwest. We are able to pay the going wage for any farm work or ranch hand. worthy of the pay. but the fact that you pass a bill and make it a felony for somebody to transport somebody else across the border. the fact that you give the immigration people the right to go upon all of the lands and search the cars and trucks and vehicleswhich so far as I know they have been doing for yearsis not going to solve the problem. Let me impress upon you that the jails In the Southwest are full. You cannot pass enough laws to fill up any more of them because they are full already.
