The labor contract provides a stable. legal force which will be available only in times of local labor shortages and will be returned to Mexico when sufficient local labor is available to take care of our harvest problems. Certainly. the farmer would be encouraged to use legal labor and would find it to his advantage to abstain from the employment of wetbacks which are subject to being picked up in the fields. and therefore. a most unreliable source of labor from his standpoint. . We have tried for many years to keep out illegal aliens by enforcement measures and have not been successful. The condition in Mexico is such that in some places we find men who are unable to support their families because of lack of employment. No enforcement official is going to be able to keep them from coming into this country where jobs are available at pay scales far above those of Mexico.
