Young American migrant workers cuts onions instead of going to school
American migrant workers workers are forced to take their children out of school early in the Spring and return them long after school has begun in the Fall. It becomes impossible for these young students to make up for so many lost days due to their work, so many never complete high school (the drop out rate is estimated today at 65%), which almost insures the continuing cycle of poverty.
