Subsequently we obtained some additional information regarding it. I have talked to the senior Senator from Michigan and other Senators who are interested in this matter. Senators will understand that in connection with the bill on the subject of importation of Mexican agricultural labor. there are two features: One is the enforcement of the immigration law. by deporting from the United States aliens who are illegally in the .United States. That function is performed by the Immigration Service of the Department of Justice. Funds for that purpose are provided in the item which has just been passed over. The Senator from Michigan knows about it. Let me say to the senior Senator from Michigan who now has come to the floor. that I was directing attention to the fact that two provisions of this appropriation bill affect the importation of agricultural labor. One is the item on page 5. in line 8. where it is proposed to increase the amount from $2.610.000 to $4.000.000. That increase is proposed for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and is desired for the purpose. among others. of seeing to it that wetbacks. or those who are illegally in the United States. are deported.
