In my judgment. be very foolhardy for this House today to refuse to approve this extension. To do this would be to deprive people who are dependent upon this source of labor as a means to help meet their needs during harvest seasons. and would. at the same time. contribute directly to an increase in the admission of larger numbers of Mexican nationals to become permanent residents. If a bracero is deprived of the privilege of coming in by himself. without his family. under contract on a temporary basis. to do farmwork. he knows that he can go to the American consulate and. if in good health and otherwise admissible. obtain an immigration visa and come in on a permanent basis and bring his entire family with him. The question is: Which do you wantworkers brought in alone on a temporary basis by themselves. or workers admitted on a permanent basis. along with their families?
