Labor spokesmen have stated categorically that they do not want one thing done to this law which will prevent growers from getting the help they need when they want it. provided such help is obtained under proper conditions. All that labor asks is that they obtain such help legally through the procedures set up by this law. that the use of illegal wetback labor be stopped. and that the terms of the law actually be enforced. Labors chief objection to the Mexican labor program. provided the present loophole under which United States workers are discriminated against is removed. comes down largely to the fact that this law. and the related immigration laws. have not been properly enforced. I am sure every Member of the House agrees with me that the laws passed by this Congress are intended to be respected. and that such respect implies compliance with the terms of the law and proper enforcement. I do not see how any loyal American can quarrel with the demands which labor. many socialwelfare agencies. church organizations. and other groups have made for adequate enforcement of this law.
