134 WESTERN HEMISPHERE IMMIGRATION

The CuatrMaN. Do they have plenty of meat?
Mr. ManGguM. Yes; and they wear shoes and are well clothed; and
they have goats there that furnish them food.
The CratrMAN. Is there anything else?
Mr. Mancum. That is about all; except, I think, my experience in
Mexico is, in operating this ranch over there, whenever the immigration
 laws tighten up on the American side, the Mexicans very frequently
 retaliate in some way, and it creates a bad feeling, and that
will be more apparent when Mexico is put on the quota basis.
Mr. Free. Have you been in Mexico since this bill was introduced?
Mr. Mangum. Yes; I was on the ranch last week.
Mr. FREE. A man who just came back from Mexico told me yesterday
 that there was a good deal of bad feeling, and of retaliatory
talk. Have vou heard, in any manner, of that?
Mr. Ma~xcuM. No; I have not heard any special talk at this time.
I have, for instance, well-drilling operations and things of that kind
on my Mexican ranch, and I got experienced American drillers to do
the work. They demand the American immigrants shall pay $200
to insure that they will not become a charge on the country, and different
 things like that in the way of retaliating measures.
The CuatrRMAN. That is all right, is it not?
Mr. MancuM. Yes, it is all right.
The CrarrMaN. Does not the United States do that?
Mr. Maneum. Should you do that?
The Cratrman. We do do it.
Mr. Manaum. Yes, I know; of course you do.
The CrarMaN, We do it in a minor way. If a man is coming
in here and we think he is going to try to remain, we require him to
put up a bond.
Mr. Mancum. Yes,
The CuamrmaN. They supervise the migration into Mexico rather
carefully?
Mr. ManeuMm. The Mexicans do, yes. We have to have passports
and to register in and out.
The Crairman. Do you have to have such a device when you go
to your own ranch?
Mr. Mancum. No; I have a permit pass.
The CrarrMaN, Issued by the Mexican Government?
Mr. Mancum. Yes, issued by the Mexican Government.
The CrairMan. What does that cost you?
Mr. Mangum. I think it 1s about 60 cents
The CraarMaN. In and out?
Mr. Mancum. Yes. -
The Cuatrman, It is a nominal cost?
Mr. Maxcuum. Yes, a nominal cost.
The Cratrman. Do you have to show it every time you pass over?
Mr. Mangum. I am well known, and am known to pretty much all
the customs officials and other people, too, and I pass very freguently;
 but of course if there is a new man on, I am required to show
my pass.
The Crairman. Take a Mexican going in and out of Eagle Pass
in a small kind of business; is he held up or disturbed?
