It seems only fair that this provision should be written into law. so as to give at least a minimum of protection to American citizens competing in this labor market. As the system now works. the influx of both legal and illegal labor from Mexico Into southern Texas sets up a chain reaction which results in the displacement of farm workers throughout the West and Southwest. For 3 or 4 months of the year these people have uncertain employment. and. in turn. themselves become migrants. The present situation. marked by disorder and neglect and. in some cases. by exploitation. verges on the scandalous. Rather than pass this legislation.
