I would rather see more of the dairy surpluses that are in Federal warehouses right now going to the hungry in America and the hungry in friendly countries. And we would not have to look any farther than across the Rio Grande into Mexico. A few weeks ago. we had an immigration bill right out here on this Senate floor. And we commiserated with the fact that so many people out of Mexico come into our country because they are desperate. economically desperate. trying to find a job. trying to find any means of earning a little bit of money which they either take back to Mexico or send back to help their families to survive. Now I would rather see some of our abundance of food supplies going right down to Mexico right now.
