I think. tend to get a little confused about who the enemy is in this war against poverty. In this war we are supposed to be aiming at the poor conditions which create poverty. not the poor people who are victimized by those conditions. For example. two of the greatest problems which the migrant farmworker faces are first. he is underemployed. that is. he often cannot find work. and second. the little work that he does find brings poor wages under substandard conditions. The solution lies not in plowing the poor migrant farmworker under the ground with foreign semislaves. called braceros. who will work for even poorer wages under even more substandard conditions. That is no way to fight the war against poverty. or to eliminate openair sweatshops. The proper thing to do. as many of us have been saying for years. is to improve employment recruitment.
