The Ambassador of Mexico presents his compliments to His Excellency the Secretary of State and, with reference to the note verbale of December 22, 194378 (811.504 Mexico/239), which was received in reply to the one sent by the Embassy under no. 9956, dated the 11th of the said month,78 takes the liberty to repeat the information furnished verbally on the 25th of this month, to the effect that the agricultural workers of Lower California are continuing to cross illegally into the United States, contravening the arrangements concluded between the two countries and doing most serious injury to the agriculture of the said Mexican region.
In view of the foregoing, Francisco Castillo Nájera takes the liberty to request of His Excellency Cordell Hull that he be good enough to take further steps in order that the Immigration and Naturalization Authorities, along the border, may redouble their vigilance to prevent, by all possible means, the entrance into the United States of those Mexican workers who lack the proper documents and who, not having any contract with the War Food Administration or with the War Manpower Commission, have no right to come to work in this country.
