Congressmen Plot Strategy on Migrant Workers in Bracero Debate
UPI reports lawmakers from Bracero states met in Washington to discuss extending the Mexican farm labor program. The Senate backed a one year extension with a McCarthy amendment requiring domestic workers to receive the same benefits as Braceros, while the House had rejected a two year extension. Opponents say domestic workers can fill the jobs with fair pay and conditions, arguing Braceros depress wages and conditions. The Labor Department must certify domestic availability before Braceros may be used.
