The gentleman from Texas said it was to pay for expenditures already made. There seems to be a misunderstanding. The fact of the matter isand I want my colleagues of the House to knowit is an attempt on the part of the people who backed the wetback legislation to prevent the immigration authorities from properly controlling the wetback situation. They do not want them to have money to control that situation. they want to run it so that they can use these wetbacks on their farms while they are in this country illegally. I hesitate to make a direct charge like that. but that is the move back of this proposal to recommit this bill.
