Mr. Chairman. 13 years ago. coincidentally. was when the United States commenced to enforce the wetback law. Up to that time. the Mexicans had gone from Mexico up to California and Arizona. tending the tomatoes. and. when the U.S. Immigration Service insisted on enforcing the wetback law. then the farmers brought the tomato vines back below the border. Along with them the people came back to tend the vines now planted below the border. The farmers thought they would be better off with a little less salt content in the irrigation water. That is when this issue arose. Again I repeat that it was not even then. but only after the gentleman who is now the President of Mexico made a great big issue out of it.
