Before the Rules Committee last week it was revealed and admitted by one of the proponents of this legislation that you might term this bill a weapon with a little weight in it in order to try and pressure Mexico in the negotiations with our country regarding some of their socalled wetback farm labor. My definition of a weapon with a little weight is what is known as a blackjack. I wonder if the Members of this House realize that last year over 580.000 illegal immigrants were sent back across the border. and most of those illegal immigrants were caused by this socalled wetback situation. With the exception of maybe 5 States that are interested in this cheap labor. I would like to ask the Representatives of the 42 or 43 other States what they are going to say to their people about reports of unemployment which appeared in last weeks papers?
