I will say that we have seen these barren lives. we have seen youngsters whose only playground was a battered old car littered with glass. and there they played barefoot. It seems to me that in this country where we have done so much for ourselves. where we have brought health care to all of our poor people. welfare to all of our poor people. we have excluded it from this group of people who are rootless and homeless. who have no State and no residence. We have protected ourselves in so many ways with minimum wages. child labor prohibition. short workweek of 40 hours. all the new deal has been excluded from the lives of our migrant farm families In this country. I think the answer is yes. the time has come when our Nation must recognize that these people are entitled to the same protections that all other Americans enjoy.
