I became greatly concerned about the charges made against this program. I heard talk about the slave wages being paid these braceros. the horrible housing conditions which were provided by the growers who hire these men and the lack of sanitary conditions. I also heard about the immorality of hiring braceros and migrant workers and how domestic workers were being ousted from employment by these migrant workers. Representatives from the Southwest and Far West on the other hand claimed that these accusations were untrue. that braceros earned more than $1 an hour and that also it was imperative for growers to hire these braceros in order to harvest their crops. As a matter of fact.
