Title A name given to the resource Migrant camp, Weslaco, Texas Description An account of the resource Local employment men say that there was no need for migrant labor to handle the citrus and vegetable crops in the valley, the local supply of labor being ample for this purpose. Most of the local labor is Mexican and the labor contractors favor Mexican labor over white labor, partly because the Mexican will work much cheaper than whites. One white woman who was a permanent resident (her husband was on WPA (Works Progress Administration/Work Projects Administration) said that the white people who lived in the valley, had no trouble with the Mexicans. The Mexicans were good neighbors, she said, always willing to share what they had. She said the white migrants who came into the valley and resented and misunderstood the Mexicans caused the trouble between the two races. Some towns in this section permit camping only in trailers. The charge for camping in tents is about fifty cents per week, including water, which in some cases must be carried four city blocks. Privies are tin, very bad condition. Garbage is collected only once a week, with large dumps of decaying fruits and vegetables scattered among the camps. Some of the white migrants in this camp were very suspicious of governmental activity, due to the use by south Texas newspapers of the term "concentration camps" referring to FSA (Farm Security Administration) camps Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Russell Lee Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Farm Security Administration Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Feb. 1939 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No known restrictions Language A language of the resource en Type The nature or genre of the resource Still image Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division Washington, D.C. 20540 USA
