Does not the Senator from New York recall that during the time when I was chairman of the labormanagement subcommittee. for 2 years. we conducted extensive hearings on the entire subject of Mexican laborers entering the United States. particularly the wetback situation? We held hearings for a period of 8 months. during which time we obtained some of the best testimony which I think could be obtained. It came from leading churchmen. immigration authorities. and various other responsible citizens and citizen groups throughout the Nation. Does not it appear rather peculiar to the Senator from New York that a Congress which imposes the strictest form of security rules upon even a Supreme Court Justicedemanding an FBI report upon the Chief Justice of the United Statesnevertheless keeps open the entire border along the Rio Grande. with little or no immigration control? Mr. President. whether the Senate knows it or not. the Communist international movement. the socalled Cominform. is today waging in Mexico one of its most effective and strongest programs of infiltration.
