This continued to be the case. incidentally. through 1963 and 1964 and still continues to be the case as this debate is underway. It is completely clear that Public Law 414 remains available as a source of needed supplemental agricultural labor from Mexico at this very time and indeed some Mexican laborers have already been admitted and are now working in California under Public Law 414. During the 1963 debate I made the following remarks which appear in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. volume 109. part 11. page 15184: The method by which Mexican workers might be brought into the United States legally under sections 214 and 101 (a) (15) (H) of the Immigration and Nationality Act in the absence of Public Law 78 Is explained at page 49 of the House hearings. I emphasize that point because so many people mistakenly think that the only way Mexican laborers can get into this country to till farms is under this act Public Law 78. whereas. quite to the contrary. other less desirable acts are available under which Mexican laborers can come into this country and under which they would have nothing like the protection that they. the country. or the producers who use them have under Public Law 78. During the 1963 debate various Senators expressed concern on this question and I quote from the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. volume 109. part 11. page 15187. a colloquy between Senator ALLOTT. of Colorado. and myself on this subject:
