Speaker. there are a number of ad hoc committees with religious sounding names who are circularizing Congress with statements and resolutions in opposition to an extension of the bracero program. Seldom do these committees or religious associations give their credentials or the basis Of their views or valid reasons for their -resolutions. A little investigation will reveal that they have made little or no objective study of the problems. many have never been near a farm--some only recently. after their commitment to oppose the bracero programsome did not and do not know the difference between a "wetback." a "green carder" or a bracero. Most have never lived near a migrant farm family or in a rural community. None has ever been a local governmental official. None has presented any alternative proposal.
Identified stereotypes
Religious groups opposing the bracero program are portrayed as uninformed and lacking experience.
