The American farmer is as much entitled to the American standard of living as is the American producer of manufactured products. or as is the American workingman. We recognized that fact when we passed and enforced a national minimum wage law. We recognized it when we passed and enforced legislation protecting us against uncounted hordes of immigrants. We recognized it when we adopted the American educational system. and when we provided for the electrification of farms. and for an automobile for every American family. and even to suggest that we depart from a farm program which has resulted in the maintenance of farm prosperity in the areas producing basic commodities. and upset or substantially decrease the income of farm families in order that they can sell their products abroad at a reduced price. it seems to me. is contrary to our entire American concept of justice and fair dealing. Carrying it to its logical conclusion. we can dispose easily enough of the surplus problem if we produce commodities and give them away without the necessity of appropriating money. through the complicated machinery of the Foreign Operations Administration.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants are described as an 'uncounted horde', implying they are overwhelming and a threat.
