And not only are there far more migrants today but they are being paid far less. The hourly wages of some California farm workers, adjusted for inflation, have fallen 53 percent since 1985. Migrants are among the poorest workers in the United States. The average migrant worker is a twenty-eight-year-old male, born in Mexico, who earns about $5,000 a year for twenty-five weeks of farm work. His life expectancy is forty-nine years.

Over the past twenty years the wages of the more than two million farm workers in the US have failed to keep pace with inflation, making it difficult and often impossible to afford the basic necessities of housing, food, health care and education for their children. Agricultural economists and industry surveys found that wages have fallen by as much as twenty per cent in the past two decades, after adjusting for inflation, while a USDA survey estimated a seven per cent decline for the same period (New York Times, March 31, 1997.)
