It is a fact that this program is disturbing to the Mexicans. I suggest that we should give some attention to the remarks made by the Senator from Texas . who said that some of the growers in his State did not wish to have even the moderate change and improvement which the conference reported to the Senate today. They say that they would rather work under the immigration law. Public Law 414. which permits the importation of nonquota immigrants for employment in work for which American workers are not available. This is a practice which is followed in some areas of the country as between growers of this country and. for example. the government of the Bahama Islands and of Jamaica. In such a case we would have an agreement between an American employer. the particular nationals own government. and -the national himself.
