I believe the distinguished majority leader will bear me out. In connection with the amendment itself I should like to say that we have been hearing for a long time about the large number of people who are coming into this country illegally. It was for that reasonand it is a very valid reasonthat immigration legislation was proposed. I believe that we should do everything we possibly can to stop at the border and to turn back persons who seek to enter this country illegally. I know of no class which is so typical of illegal entrants as the wetbacks.
