Article Abstract:
CBS-TV revealed the plight of migrants in 1960 with its broadcast of Edward R. Murrow's 'Harvest of Shame' documentary, which showed the squalid living conditions, miserable wages and abuses suffered by the migrant farmers. However, the investigations conducted in 1990 and then in 2003 found that nothing has changed, and the situation has worsened for a new wave of immigrants.
