For example. Monsignor Higgins. wrote recently. It is morally indefensible to deny our own American migrants even the admittedly substandard guarantees which are provided for the braceros (imported Mexican farmworkers). And eight organizations representing religious groups. small farmers. and consumers recently said in a joint statement: This program (of Public Law 78) has become a means for providing a surplus of cheap labor. so that wages and working conditions can be kept at worse than a substandard level on corporation farms * * (They recommended) improving the lot of American farm workers and family farmers by stemming or stopping this stream of cheap. competitive foreign labor. I could go on and on quoting organizations and individuals.
