The Senator is correct. The Senator from West Virginia has made a very valuable contribution to the debate by pointing out that legal entrants are not subject to any quota. Anyone in this hemisphere can come into the United States if he meets certain qualifications. There is no quota in effect. Any Mexican who wants to come into the United States under our immigration law can come in. Therefore. what is the wetback problem all about. Mr. President? Why is it that some persons are so much concerned about the wetback problem? It is because the testimony before the committees of Congress reveal the fact that wetbacks are exploited to the extent of paying them as little as 5 cents an hour.
