The collapsing situation in Mexico has been the occasion for the hearings already held. and addition ones in the future. Mr. President. the situation in Mexico is very grave. I do not believe that Congress. or even the administration. has begun to face the massive consequences which confronting our own security as a result of six decades of socialistic dictatorship in Mexico. The hour of reckoning is here not only for Mexico. but also for the United States. Before 1970. we did not really have a problem with Mexico in terms of illegal immigration. There may have been 200.000 illegal Mexican aliens within our boundries. but this certainly did not constitute a crisis. Then came the radicalization of Mexico.
