But it was not. Today. 5 months after the foreign farm labor importations should have ended. there are still farmworkers from other countries in American fields. A much smaller number to be sure. but imported farmworkers are today employed as contract labor in Florida and California. And the growers have launched a huge propaganda and lobbying campaign to increase the importation of farmworkers. to bring it back to the old proportions. They cajole. they urge. they demand that Public Law 414. the Immigration and Nationality Act. be used for this purpose. As part of the effort to obtain the mass importation of cheap labor again. the growers have launched a shameful calumny against their fellow countrymen. Americans. we are told. are lazy. shiftless. drunken. and irresponsible.
