To be sure. the article recognizes that charges have been made against the wages and working conditions of braceros. But it then does its best to show that the charges are groundless. According to this article. the braceros are simple children of nature. delighted to discover the modern miracles of railroad trains and indoor plumbingand rich beyond their fondest dreams of avarice on wages that begin at 50 cents an hour. I might insert parenthetically. Mr. Speaker. that indoor plumbing is not by any means a universal "miracle" in migrant labor camps. What this Associated Press article says. in effect. is this: The braceros are better off than they were in Mexico. They are happy with their wages.
Identified stereotypes
