5966 Dry as toast film informing the public of the need for Mexican workers to work the worst jobs of the harvest season. Goes into the details of how they may be hired and how much they are paid (surprisingly, the same as Americans doing the same work). Interviews with people who work with the agencies that do the hirings. These non-actors look very uncomfortable, and one even lights up just before talking.

They are not wanted, but when "domestics" cannot do the job because it is "too hard", they run over to grab some poor Mexican souls. It is even stated in the video that a Mexican is INFERIOR to the domestic! A commitment by contract can be ignored just like that. Hmm...sounds like today, still being placed INFERIOR! Open your eyes...don't believe the lies!!! Nothing but lies... chicano 2005-04-13 14:17:41 2005-04-13 14:17:41 5 Suspicious Government film that sternly explains why the U.S. Government hires Mexican farm workers. This is all done in a way that seems too official, so the warning flags immediately go up and makes me wonder how much of this is actually true. Whether ALL the farmers went through, it seems, channel after channel to get help for the manual work in the fields. There’s some hilarious interviews by startled government folk about this, and a Mexican counsel, who, in a stunning show of political incorrectness, proclaims that these workers “Aren’t wetbacks! Those are illegal farm workers!” Look, they’re still Mexicans pal, do we have to use derogatory names to describe your own people? Why Wetbacks? 3 Spuzz 2005-09-20 05:14:15 2005-09-20 05:14:15 3 3.33
