Speaker. we have.heard a great deal about the outrageously high wages paid to domestic farmworkers in this country. Yet. I wonder how outrageous the wages can be when the average migrant worker has an income of about a thousand dollars or less per year. When we hear that a migrant might make. say. $3 an hour. we tend to forget that his employment will last only a few weekscertainly no more than 2 months. And we also forget what kind of work he is doing. It might be worth the price. My district is the home base for thousands of migrant workers. I know hundreds of them personally. and I know their problems. Their biggest problems Stem from the fact that they just do not make enough money to live.
