The bill before us provides over a million and a half dollars for the Mexican national program to bring in Mexican citizens to work alongside our own citizens in the fields. In the face of that fact. how can we plead economy in denying $100.000 to improve the quality and stability of this American work force? The $100.000 will assist in Improving the efficiency and production of the farmer who employs these American migrants in addition to improving the working and living standards of these migratory workers. This modest sum will also permit the mobilization of State and community interest and cooperation. Some States have done a great deal to find ways of solving their problems. Others have done little or nothing. Some States have set up interdepartmental committees. bringing together the interest of labor. agriculture. and other State departments. which have made real progress in meeting the most serious of the migrants needs.
