I am concerned about the welfare of all Americans. The interstate migratory worker provides a much needed service. He works hard for meager returns and his mobile working conditions have resulted in a lack of health facilities. We should and can do something to help him and at the same time relieve the strain on local health facilities which cannot meet their needs at harvest time. It seems incredible that the Federal Government should already be providing funds to foreign migrant agricultural workers in America but not to our own. This bill will correct that injustice. Mexican and West Indies nationals currently enjoy these very same services.
