This legislation will. of course. go a long way in the amelioration of several important migratory farmworker problems. But perhaps the real significance of its passage by the Senate is the indication that the entire farm community is not unalterably opposed to a modicum of economic and social justice for those upon whose labor they depend. Although each of the Senatepassed bills would improve specific migratory farmworker problems. they are not a complete solution to the basic cause of the migrant farmworkers economic and social ostracism. The legislation needed to do this is the bill. S. 1129. which would enable farmers to recruit U.S. citizen farmworkers under procedures similar to those now used for the recruitment of thousands of foreign farmworkers.
