Abstract
The main focus of this thesis is on those workers who
have not left the migrant stream, because those who do
seek aid have taken the first step in the process of
assimilation into our society; they have made the hard
decision to start new lives. First, in order to develop
an awareness of the relationship between agricultural
laborers, agribusiness and the government, a brief
history is presented. Second, general characteristics
of the laborers are given so that the reader may have a
basic understanding of this subculture. Third, for a
total awareness of the lives of agricultural workers,
specific problems are examined, with an emphasis on the
education of Mexican-American migrant children. Finally,
this thesis will present the three factors that are
instrumental in alleviate these problems: legislation,
unionization and private and public agencies.
