Mr. Speaker. we recently passed a wetback control bill aimed at making possible a more workable system for employing legal Mexican agricultural workers in this country. There was considerable opposition to such legislation. which stated that our action would do little to help control this admittedly deplorable situation. whereby thousands of illegal aliens were coming into this country in search of work. Those of us who live along the Mexican border are pleased to note that the vast majority of farmers have availed themselves of the opportunity to hire legal workers. and have thus helped to dry up the conditions that made this influx possible. Under unanimous consent.
