There is deepseated concern in this country among church groups and others. They have expressed a deepseated concern about the plight of the migrant workers. These migrant workers are the successors of the "Okies". they are the men. women. and children who travel in dirty buses to live in rundown camps. who do the hard work of harvesting Americas food and fiber.
