I opposed that last year. I think that is one of the most extravagant ideas that any bureaucratic agency of the Government has thought up yet. Suppose. as I say. you were living in Bethesda or in Chevy Chase. and you came across the border into the District of Columbia. and then the Immigration Service of the District of Columbia picked you up. The Immigration Service picks you up and at great expense. as you see in this bill from $250.000 to $306.000 a month. goes out and hires airplanes. it is a very expensive methodperhaps *they might better get them from the Army. I do not know. they could probably get them much cheaper. but they do not. they hire airplanes and then fly you way back beyond your home. they take you up to Hagerstown or over to Baltimore. dump you off. and then you have to walk home. As I said facetiously last year when we were considering this bill. the reason the Immigration Service thought this up was so that the immigration official could get back to the United States before the Mexican got back. Whatever the reason. it is an extravagant program. It is creating a social and economic situation in Mexico which I said last year I thought would cause us to hear officially from t.le Republic of Mexico.
