It is that in this legislation we must provide adequate protection for the domestic migratory workers so that they will not be under unfair competition. Then I would be willing to approve and support an extension of the program. If we cannot provide that protection. we are legalizing a wetback system. whether the workers are brought into this country through cooperation with the Government under Public Law 78 or whether the immigration laws are not enforced. There is the same devastating effect on American workers. The way to answer that problem is to enforce the law. I can see no reason why we cannot enforce this kind of law. I have seen our Immigration and Naturalization Service do it before.
