Here is another headline. "Surprise .Predawn Gate Opening Admits Braceros." "Emergency Police Forces Turn Back Worker Hordes." Let me stop at this point to tell you that I could go on indefinitely with these headlines. Here is another one. "Recruitment Full Steam Ahead as Mexico Lifts Iron Curtain." "Drive Back Bracero MobMexicans Trampled in Rush on BorderOrderly Recruiting Shattered as Milling Throng Makes Break." These are headlines in American papers and these pictures provide convincing evidence why Mexico does not want border recruiting. Let me turn now to the cost of this program. Do you know what it costsyou economyminded people? Out of 200.000 contract laborers coming into America last year. 178.000 of the 200.000 went to the landlords of five States. Mark that. The other 22.000 went into 22 other States.
