Mr. President. during 8 years of my service In the House of Representatives. while on the House Committee on Agriculture. I made a rather extensive study of this particular problem dealing with the immigrant labor situation. and particularly the problem of the wetbacks and braceros who came into the country illegally. and under the old act. After a rather long period of study. having voted for the program during the first 6 years of my service In Congress. I discovered that the program was doing irreparable damage with reference to human element involved. as well as failing to provide the proper labor. wages. and protection for the personnel involved.
