I am sure that in Texas. and probably in other States. such as California and Arizona. particularly. many crops are now growing that will mature in the early part of next year. If the Senate fails to extend the law. there will be much loss to the farmers who are now engaged in planting and cultivating crops. I wish to state to the Senate something else that may occur. There may be a reversion to the old method of Mexicans swimming across the Rio Grande. in violation of our immigration laws. If that is permitted. labor from Mexico will continue to come into this country. as was true before 1951. Wages will be lowered.
