Mr. President. I may say to the distinguished chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry that unless we can enter into a satisfactory agreement with the Republic of Mexico. assuring cooperation on the part of both countries. for the purpose of protecting the interests and security of the two countries. I would be very glad to have the border between Mexico and the United States closed to this kind of immigration. I would favor it. Mr. President. Of course. there will not be any suggestion of that kind. but if that were done there would not be coming into this country great numbers of cheap laborers to compete with American laborers. and thus to beat down the prevailing wages which are paid to our own workers.
