Both of those industries. vegetable and fruit. as the Senator knows. are seasonal. No such number of workers is required during the production months as is required at the time of harvesting. and sometimes the periods of harvesting are very short. They know they have to have these migrant workers. They have had to rely for a period of years upon migrant workers from the Caribbean area. because they could not secure migrant workers from this country. They have recruited them from as far away as Missouri and Arkansas. in an effort to get domestic workers. They are required to show a record of a strong effort to get domestic workers before the Department of Labor will certify that they are entitled to have people come from offshore lands. as the Senator knows. As has been stated. so far as the migrant workers from offshore are concerned. they are well selected. lawabiding. sober people. who will do a good job. and yet our domestic migrant workers must be treated at least as generously as those who come from offshore. or our own consciences could not approve what was being done. During the late fall. winter. and early spring. such workers are competing with workers in the great tourist industry. which includes visits from about 9 million people a year. and the scale of wages has to be such as to keep people employed in the necessitous work that they are doing if the crops are to be harvested. All of these factors. and others which I could mention. have been added to the consciences of our own people that they have a job to do.
