Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 A good source of migrant stream information is the Migrant Education Program. In the past I had seen a map they had developed about the migration stream of farm workers. Given the changes that have taking place in the agricultural labor force such as the large number of migrant workers from indigenous areas of Mexico and South America, the the movement of migrant workers to non-traditional agricultural states, dispels the old notion that most workers come from Texas and orderly migrate from Texas to Pacific coast States, Midwestern States and Eastern coast States of the U.S. I think we will find that migrants are moving across the country and settling in States that traditionally did not have a Latino population. The migrant streams are very different today then those that were portrayed 20 and 10 years ago. There is a great change going on in the make up of U.S. population. To some this is a very positive, to others it is very negative. -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen Ferguson [mailto:ferg0114@...] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 6:55 AM Subject: [ ] RE: STREAMS Jesus, One of these two references has a great migrant stream illustration - sorry I can't remember which it is: Slesinger, D. 1992.

If not, I will send you a scanned version of the migrant stream illustration - I have this on my home computer so will need to do it at night. buenas suerte, Kathleen Hi everyone: I will giving a presentation on migrant farmworking men and I wanted to see if someone could help me.
