Mr. Speaker. it is contended by some who wish to discontinue the bracero program that the growers or farmers should provide housing accommodations for the entire migrant family which follows the crops. This is an unreasonable requirement and an impracticable solution for the migrants plight. A normal harvest season may be for 2 or 3 months duration. but often less. After one harvest is complete the migrant family must move on to another harvest. After this harvest. another move. This pathetic migration goes on and on. harvest after harvest. year after year. Harvest seasons cannot be changed. A crop may require supplemental labor for only 2 or 3 months during the year.
