I will say to the Senator from Florida. and I think many of them. especially the trailer camps. are a stench in the nostrils of decent people. Those whose homes are in the localities are regretful that the camps are there. and the only reason they are there is that they are upheld by our Government. We are just as much to blame as are the migrants themselves when we keep them there at Government expense. When times were hard. when there was real necessity for helping these people because of the depression which came upon us several years ago. we all voted for all that was necessary to take care of them because their plight was not their fault. But times have changed. there is no man who wants work in this country today who cannot get it.
