Migrant labor camps face renewed scrutiny as exams shrink
Labor camps near peak August occupancy prompt renewed focus on migrant housing. The Migrant Task Force, active earlier, has largely stalled since January, with Sen. Thomas Teague calling it a failure and Sen. Earl Wilson arguing it fulfilled its purpose. The State Board of Health expands federal standards, but without governor Whitcomb’s signature, new regulations remain unenforceable amid ongoing community concern over camp conditions.

Migrant Camp Supervisors Face Shared Responsibility
Teague says outdoor toilets showers and housing at camps were substandard with unheated spaces and torn screens. Pena, camp crew leader at Fettig’s in Elwood, agrees maintenance is shared by owners and workers. Fettig explains no deposits and crew leaders collect for damages as improvements are tied to responsible crews. State health board inspector Lesley notes 21 camps were lost last year amid mixed results for growers and laborers.
