Speech #990275052

The situation that exists in my congressional district clearly illustrates the adverse effect that the LSC has already had on agriculture. Hereford. TX. is the location of an LSC grantee that has repeatedly brought costly class action suits against numerous farmers. Several have switched to crops that can be harvested mechanically to avoid having to hire migrant workers. The result has not only damaged the agricultural balance of Hereford. but has also inhibited employment opportunities for migrant workers. In addition. I can hardly see the logic in extending LSC services to H2 workers who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. taxpayers.
