Consequently. the argument that their employment is entirely different is an argument against the facts. They will be used in the same areas and on the same crops under the same conditions. It seems to me that we should be resourceful enough and wise enough to develop procedures and practices under which American migrants can receive treatment comparable with that given Mexican nationals. In addition. our amendment provides for another benefit. that of offering "work period guarantees" comparable to those now provided to Mexican nationals who are brought into the country under the present program. In my judgment. this is a moderate and reasonable amendment. It would not require employers to offer all the benefits now guaranteed Mexican nationals. but only those which are essential to an effective effort to recruit domestic workers. The Mexican nationals would continue to receive better treatment than that accorded American migrants.
