I am not saying that a man with two peg legs should not be taken care of. but it should be by the doctors or the lawyers or the other people. and not the farmer. It is a myth to say that merely because there are unemployed people in the country the farmer should take care of them. as a welfare agent. Another myth which is going around is that we should change our immigration laws from the quota system based on national origin to something based on skills. The very same people who are promoting the change of our immigration laws to permit people to come here on the basis of skills are the people who are opposing the importation of Mexican nationals. yet the skill we need in this country at the present time is the stoop labor skill to do the work on our farms. It seems a paradox to me. which people should think about. There are many other things which I should like to say about this farm labor program.
