California. Independent & Press Telegram. My mother was an immigrant from Hungary. and so I am not inimical to Immigrants. but I wonder. considering the very large number of Mexicans who are coming in illegally. and many others who are coming in legally. do you foresee the time when there should be some limitation upon the entrance of immigrants into the United States. I know we htve certain quotas now. but these. evidently. are not being abided by. Have you any thoughts on those subjects? Secretary MUSKiE. You have properly made the point that we do have laws that limit Immigration at the present time. but those are very difficult to enforce and apply along a border the length of that between us and Mexico. and along the Atlantic Coasteven Canada. although we have no problem there of illegal migration. At this point. I think the problem really falls in my Department in the sense that what is required here is a dialogue between us and the Government of Mexico on that particular source of migration to this country.
