Mr. Speaker. the influx of illegal aliens into California and our Western States has worsened an already bleak economic picture. In Los Angeles County alone. it is estimated that there are about 1 million persons in need of some form of assistance. About onequarter are people who can be classified as "disadvantaged"poor and unable to get work. These people are especially hard hit by the presence of illegal aliens in the labor market. According to a study by Dr. Paul Sultan. professor of economics at the Claremont Graduate School. illegals during the past 5 years have gradually been moving from agriculture into industry. Some of his findings: First. Illegal aliens in the California work force are increasing at a rapid rate. Second. Apprehensions in the California farm work force increased from about 14.105 in fiscal year 1967 to about 67.437 in fiscal 1970.
