Mr. President. I have quoted the statement of a man who is writing with deep compassion for the migrant laborer. He feels that. until we have had an opportunity to prepare a schedule ahead of time as to how to take care of these problems. repeal of the program at this time would be one of the worst things we could do. not only in relation to the importation of Mexicans who are coming across the border. but also from the point of view of our own domestic agricultural migrant labor supply. In that same connection. I hold in my hand a short article from the El Paso Herald Post. dated November 5. 1963. entitled "Wetback Total Soars in October." It reads: A. heavy increase in the number of illegal entrants from Mexico was reported today by the U.S. immigration border patrol. Apprehensions during October of this year exceeded 600 in greater El Paso. twice the number usually made in October. Patrol Chief Herman Moore said.
