Without this readily avail, able seasonal supply of workers, harvest is much more exso you pay higher pensive food prices. And contrary to what our labor leaders had promised, the phasing out of the braceros did not bring about the rehiring of armies of U. S. workers. These, instead, in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California most often refuse to perform what they call stoop labor and remain idle on welfare.
