I will refer you to my speech on yesterday. The time for argument has gone. I happen to have studied some labor economics and I know enough to know what the hazards are in any industrial society: The loss of income associated with unemployment. sickness and old age is bad enough for the ordinary citizen and worker in our dynamic system. but the migrant American worker is confronted with an these hazards completely stripped of the most basic and humane benefits offered by our economy and our society. There are even places in the United States where these American workers are not even considered fit objects of the greatest of all Christian virtues--charity. There are but few. if any. workers in the American economy that are not covered by social security. by unemployment insurance. by workmens compensation or by some other form of social benefits and who cannot reasonably protect their labor market through collective bargaining or legislation.
