“This leaves something to be de
sired, Longoria said. “The presi
dent of the United States is going to
Mexico within a month.
Clements’ assistants said he was
not going as a representative of the
United States but simply to confer
on mutual economic, energy and
drug problems.
San Antonio Mayor Lila Cockrell
and municipal officials urged Bris
coe to tell Portillo their city is ready
to proceed on an agreement to swap
electricity for natural gas.
Ray Rodriguez of Houston said
Tenneeo and other Texas oil com
panies are ready to make an agree
ment to purchase natural gas from
Mexico if the Carter administration
would not interfere.
Compean noted Clements’ re
peated suggestions for a reinstitu
tion of some type of Bracero pro
gram and urged the governor to look
into the wages, living conditions and
legal rights to be afforded alien
workers coming to the United
States.
Bonilla said LULAC opposes any
resumption of a Bracerotype pro
gram to allow Mexican nationals to
come to the United States to work.

“They take away jobs from
American citizens, Bonilla said.
“When you create a Bracero pro
gram you create another class of
citizens and a lower class at that.
District Judge Joe Cisneros of
Edinburg said there were decreas
ing numbers of drug cases cm court
dockets along the border and urged
Clements to commend Mexican of
ficials for cooperating in efforts to
stem illegal narcotics traffic. Cis
neros said there has been an in
crease in burglaries involving aliens,
however, and suggested officials
consider prosecuting more of those
cases instead of simply deporting
accused criminals who are aliens.
