Mr. Speaker. one of the Members. the gentleman from Georgia . I believe. referred to the fact that I have been interested in migrant labor in our State of California. I have been interested in migrant labornot just Mexican migrant labor. may I point out. but American migrant labor. Last winter children died in the San Joaquin Valley from starvationthe children of American migrant workers. Mexicans. under an agreement with the Mexican Government. were brought into the United States as agricultural workers during the war because we did not have the manpower to produce the food that was essential to win the war. After the war was over we continued to bring Mexicans to the United States as agricultural workers.
