Mr. President. I should like to conclude by quoting a few paragraphs from the New York Times article about the life of the migrants: The young Chicanoor MexicanAmericanmigrant will move with his parents through the citrus groves of Florida or California. stoop over the beans and tomatoes In Texas. hoe sugarbeets in western Kansas. crawl through the potato fields of Idaho or Maine and pick cherries in Michigan. moving with the season and the harvest. He will sleep. crowded- with his family in shells of migrant housing without. heat. refrigeration or sanitary facilities. He will splash barefoot through garbagestrewn mud Infested with internal parasites and drink polluted water provided in old oil drums. By the age of 12 he will have the face of an adult and his shoulders will form in a permanent stoop.
