Yesterday we approved a sheepherders bill. involving 40 sheepherders. They came into this country as seamen. The law was violated. They became deserting seamen. and then suddenly we find they are sheepherders. Their name was changed. Whether they actually tend sheep. I have no way of knowing. They are here. I did not want to send them back. I voted for the bill. We passed the bill yesterday saying that those Spaniards who came in as seamen could remain here because they were sheepherders. They are not to be deported. although they violated our statutes when they lied upon their arrival and said they were seamen.
