On the recordJuly 24, 2003
I am very familiar with their problems because in my youth I lived in a farming community. I worked on a produce farm. I worked side by side with migrant workers, both in the fields and in the packing sheds and even in transporting produce to markets. It is very important to provide services for migrant children. When these children are not served, parents sometimes will bring their children to the field and sometimes even have them working. This certainly exposes them to harmful conditions. Today, migrant and seasonal Head Start serves close to 35,000 children and operates in 39 States in every region of the country.
