Would it not be better. Mr. President. to arrange for a suitable number of legal immigrants to meet this need than to wink the eye and permit this vast. uncontrolled illegal immigration which occurs daily. weekly. and monthly across the Canadian and Mexican borders? Just think of itaccording to official estimatesalmost 4 million illegal border crossings on the Mexican border alone. And yet we strain and stretch over the admission of another hundred thousand legal immigrantscarefully screened. selected and qualified immigrants. who could help our entire economy. in the same way as Senator MCCARRAN proposes that we help the sheepraising industry of Nevada.
