They are willing to work for a pittance. They are willing to work for as little as half or a third of the prevailing wages which are guaranteed to American citizens and foreigners who come into this country legally. Naturally many of those who want to employ that kind of labor do not cooperate in apprehending and deporting such Illegal entrants. The amendment offered by the Senator from Minnesota provides for the detection. apprehension. and deportation of this large number of persons who have come across the Mexican border illegally. and who have taken up residence in this country and compete with agricultural labor in the South. with railroad labor all over the country. and with labor in industry as far north as Detroit. Minneapolis. and New York City. Mr. President. there are no adequate means to apprehend and deport this great number of illegal immigrants. There is no doubt whatever that one of the greatest weapons with which to control this bad situation is to deport these people by airplane. not by taking them across the international bridge and turning them loose. because in that way they can get back into the country within 2 days. They must be taken deep into Mexico. from which it will be difficult for them to return to the border.
