In the first place I do not agree at all with the conclusion that that would be the result. I do not believe it has been the result of the enactment and the existence of the present law. The second thing I wanted to correct is the apparent understanding of the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin that there is no market for these migrant workers in the wintertime. As a matter of fact. along the Mexican border. in the lower areas of Texas and Arizona and also California. the area which shares with my own State the responsibility for the supply of winter vegetables and fruits and the like. winter is one of the times of heavy need for stoop labor. the very kind of labor that is supplied by the Mexicans. The third point I wish to make is that whoever is responsibleand I wish to make this absolutely clear. because it is inescapablewhoever is responsible for the failure of the enactment of this law in such a way as to force the operation back on the basis of the prior existing law is going to be answerable to thousands of farmers in many communities in this country and to the people who use their products. and that there will not be any corresponding advantage to our own domestic labor.
