Mr. Chairman. when this initial legislation was approved in 1951 I opposed it on the ground that there was written into the legislation a provision exempting these Mexican immigrant workers from the payment of income taxes and exempting them from participation and inclusion under the Social Security Act. I was interested in what the gentleman from Texas said about Mexican workers making more than school teachers. If that is true. they Ought to be paying income taxes. Mexico has abrogated the provisions of the agreement. This resolution here would provide for negotiating directly by the farm people at the border with the Mexican laborers themselves. .
