If they are concerned about growers paying adequate wages. then they should vote for the bill. But they should not use the argument of principle in voting against my amendment since the committee amendment involves the same question of principle to a greater extent than my amendment. Let me point out that the amendment would not affect the States which have been paying. in a relative sense. decent wages to American migrant workers and Mexican migrant workers. It would chiefly affect those States in which. on the record. growers have been paying 50 cents. 55 cents. and 60 cents an hour. and in consequence of that fact. have forced their own people to move farther north. west. or east. in search of better conditions of employment. Texas employs approximately 123.000 Mexican nationals.
