And. I know what the feeling is among the Mexican people to a great extent. If you tamper with this program or if you terminate it or do anything to cut off the ability to recruit Mexican contract labor in Mexico. you are going to have the entire MexicanUnited States border crawling with illegal entrants. the socalled wetbacks. I think it is much more advisable to have these people come in as they do now under contract. with supervision by the Immigration people. so that when their employment is terminated they will go back to Mexico and not come up as illegal immigrants with the problems that are incident thereto.
