But now in an urban society. the economic facts of life are that there just are not enough workers in any given locality. in our case Florida. to pick the crops. Laborers have to be brought in. recruited from somewhere else. In Florida. our farmers have brought in socalled offshore labor. which refers to workers from the Bahama Islands. Now this recruiting of offshore labor has been carefully and strictly supervised. First of all. it is governed by Public Law 414. the Immigration and Naturalization Act. The workers from the Bahama Islands are permitted to come in only temporarily for the harvest season. They may only supplement domestic labor. take up the shortage.
