I may say to the Senator that I have spent a good deal of time on the border. and it is considered a joke there that wetbacks show themselves around immigration offices and deliberately permit themselves to be picked up and returned to Mexico. frequently by plane. I know of the instance of a Mexican who desired to take money to his parents in old Mexico. He walked around in front of an immigration office in the town of Del Rio. Tex.. was picked up and flown into Mexico to the town where his parents lived. He delivered the money. and was back at work on the American side on Monday. 2 days later.
