Speaker. the reason we need a law of this sort is so we can keep track of people in this business. because they travel across State lines and move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Mr. Speaker. the need for this legislation is very obvious. These crew chiefs deal with a type of labor in this country which is often undereducated or in many instances completely uneducated. The literacy level is generally low. Their ability to understand their rights is. of course. minimal. Many of these migrant laborers have no voting residence. They have no Congressman to whom they can complain. nor do they have access to other officials who may help them with their problems. Therefore. they are easy to victimize.
