There are more than 2 million unemployed bread winners in our country today. There are thousands of unemployed Puerto Ricans in Chicago who are American citizens. In south Texas we have tens of thousands of Mexican Americans who will gladly work in agriculture for decent wages. When the Federal Government recruits illegal aliens for employment. it posts a reward for crime against the United States. We hope that Congress will not attempt to legalize lawlessness. Similar protests were filed by the Federal Council of Churches and other civic and welfare groups. and also by the AFL and CIO. and Labor. railway labor is also opposed to this measure.
