" . They hope they are "going as farm hands" to work in United I States fields. . Many of their countfymen think out loud that that is the last thing in the world a patriotic Mexican should do, desert the -agricultural lands of his home country to seek his fortune abroad. . But that is not the feeling among the tens of thousands who will go to the United States, to work or among the hundreds of thousands who want to go but for whom there will be no.lobs. Mexico' and the United States gigned another migrant labor agreement the end of July to legalize le-galize the annual movement of Mexican migrant workers into the United States. . The current agreement, in contrast con-trast with earlier pacts, sets no limit on the number of Mexican workers who can be employed in the United States. In 1948, 35,535 workers were sent north. The 1949 agreement does restrict "brace-ros" "brace-ros" literally, those who lend a hand to farm work. During World ;War II many Mexican - workers worked on U.

They probably average about 75 cents per hour, more than six pesos at the current rate of exchange. In Mexico a farm worker would be lucky to earn that much in a day. In addition food and shelter must be provided pro-vided by employers, under the contract. Thus it is that the bra-cero's bra-cero's $6 for an eight-hour day'is "clear profit."
