Mr. President. todays Wall Street Journal contains a useful article by Robert E. Taylor entitled "The Immigrants." and deals with the general issue of undocumented workers. illegal aliens. Mexican migrants. whichever term you wish to use. It is unfortunate that Mr. Taylors article neglects to discuss the various legislative proposals before both House and Senate to deal with this problem and that. for the most part. the major proposals show that the trends in Congress are quite different in major respects from those that are being apparently favored by the Select Commission on Immigration and Naturalization headed by Father Hesburgh of Notre Dame. In the Senate. a bill introduced by this Senator and cosponsored by eight other Senators. favors. and with good justification. the establishment of a legal worker program involving the Mexican migrants. A companion bill. H.R. 5128. introduced in the House. advocates a similar approach.
