Mexico is righteously indignant at the conditions under which their people must work and live on the farms of the United States. They recognize that only if we force the corporation farmer to provide decent living conditions and pay decent wages will he do so. They also recognize that as long as the border is open to crossings at will. and as long as a mass of cheap wetback labor is available. conditions will get no better and their contract nationals as well as our native migrant labor will pay the penalty. Writing this protective clause for the employer of wetbacks Into S. 1851 simply underwrites the purpose of the large farmers associations to have Congress pass the kind of a measure which will persuade the Government of Mexico to extend its agreements with the United States to provide a continuing supply of contract nationals. while at the same time doing nothing to jeopardize the supply of wetbacks who can be more easily ground into the dirt from which they squeeze fantastic profits for the corporation farms. The proviso in paragraph (4) of section 1 of this bill must be stricken out if we are to keep faith with ourselves and with our Mexican neighbors.
