I was greatly pleased in August and September to read newspaper reports that the Attorney General shared this concern and was planning action or recommendations to relieve the situation. On November 20. 1953. the Department of Justice replied to my earlier letter. and furnished convincing evidence of the startling dimensions of this illegal invasion by over 4 million persons. of the consequent danger to our internal security. and of the resulting serious injury to citizens of this country who are displaced from their jobs. Now the negotiations with Mexico for legal immigration of farm labor have broken down. and no outlines of a remedial program by our Government have yet been revealed. It seems to me essential. therefore. to note again the seriousness of the problem. as revealed in my exchange of correspondence with the Department of Justice. the inadequacy of the announced objectives of our Government in its dealings with Mexico. and the main points of an immediate program to deal with this situation. I have done this in a further letter dated January 21. 1954. to the Attorney General.
