In the first place. there is going to be a stream of wetbacks to fill all of the area close to the border. They may not get to Arkansas. they may not get to northern California. but they will fill all of southern California. Arizona. New Mexico. and most of Texas. Those will be wetbacks. They will indeed destroy the wage structure of all agricultural works. Then there will be such an influx of Mexican immigration as this country has never known. Do you realize that the present law allows Mexicans to migrate to the United States without limitation? There is no quota on the Mexicans.
