We deceive ourselves if we deny there are strong interlinking casual relationships between the wetbacks. employment. and welfare concepts and practices in the Southwest. The instruments of Government in the 1970s must be reorganized and rededicated to meetthe challengesof the times. The Immigration Border Patrol. the U.S. Customs Service and the concepts of border control. both as to wetbacks and to contraband. are. for the most part today products of the 1920s and the 1930s. There have been no basic changes in four decades and the- 1970s demand something better than that. This is not intended as any criticism. direct or implied of the men and women who work for these agencies.
