Large numbers of Mexicans crossed the border illegally to obtain employment. These illegal entrants could not obtain the wage guarantees provided for by the agreement with Mexico. Their employment was having an adverse effect on domestic farm wages. and they created special problems for our SpanishAmerican population. for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and for other law enforcement and welfare agencies. The employers in turn had problems with departure bond forfeitures and the Mexican Government had problems arising from employers failure to fulfill their contracts. Because of these difficulties in the operation of the 1948 and 1949 agreements. representatives of the United States and Mexico met in conference beginning January 26. 1951.
