Texas Urges Fast Approval of Mexican Farm Labor Bill
Rep. O. Clark Fisher of Texas urged speedy approval of a measure allowing Mexican nationals to work on U S farms even without Mexican consent. Negotiations in Mexico City sought to renew a farm labor pact as U S and Mexican officials warn that illegal immigration would rise if the bill stalls. The bracero program previously expired January 15 and talks and various officials note the need to address farm labor shortages across states like Texas and California.
