Nothing could be further from the fact. It was the intention of Congress not lt continue Public Law 78. It was the intention of Congress. well preserved in that debate. to continue any rights that it had under the immigration law for that portion of agriculture which used those rights. I am merely calling this point to the Senators attention. because I know how good his motives are. and I know how much he is immersed in this task. on which he has rendered fine service. I have been glad to join with him in three bills introduced. which I think have been passedperhaps they have not. I am not sure. I hope they have been passedto lessen the burden of migrant workers in this country. But nothing could be less accurate than to say it was the intent of Congress to end the importation of foreign farm labor. In that debate not only was it shown that Public Law 414 was to continue to function. but it was also shown that a number of workers were coming in from Mexico under Public Law 414. rather than under Public Law 78. at the very time Congress was debating that subject.
