The bracero system has been properly called a "none too subtle substitute for slavery." I am not suggesting that we do away with the use of Mexican labor. but I do say that farm laborers. domestic or imported. are entitled to fair. decent. civilized treatment as human beings. I think the RECORD should show that the Associated Press has done a disservice to this objectiveand on Independence Day weekend. at that. I would suggest to the Associated Press that it make amends by a full and impartial story. not on a model or idealized migrant labor camp such as the one it describes in this article. but on the plight of migrant workers as a whole. Meanwhile. I hope the other matters which are now preoccupying the Education and Labor Committee can be disposed of in time for hearings. during this session. on the bills I have introduced to deal with the farm labor problem.
