Speech #890036881

Texas farmers and I have been urging the Secretary to reverse himself. admit that some bracero workers are vital to the farm economy of our State and Nation. and allow such workers to enter the United States. Today. the Secretary has acknowledged the error of his position and has admitted thousands of West Indian workers to assist the citrus harvest in Florida. But the Secretary has refused to apply his reversal to Mexican migrant workers. It is hardly understandable that. having admitted the mistake of his position. he should only partially remedy the error. I call upon the Secretary to make his ruling applicable to all farmers who need bracero labor.
