My amendment is designed to correct in some small degree the depressing effect of the Mexican farm labor program on wages and employment opportunities of domestic workers. My amendment would not terminate the Mexican farm labor program. It would have no effect at all in States which have been paying migrant and domestic workers wages which are reasonable. at least in a relative sense. and which are higher than the national hourly farm wage. In California and other States where the prevailing wage is already above the national hourly farm wage it will have no bearing. The amendment simply provides that an employer must offer and pay Mexican nationals who are imported into the United States wages at least equal to 90 percent of the State or National average rate for hourly farmwork. whichever is the lesser.
