The transportation of migrant workers within a state such as Florida is a horror story. I was in Florida last spring riding with and working with the thousands of migrant laborers who follow the harvest of crops for their miserable livelihood.  Travel, for a migrant and his family, is a nightmare anywhere.  In Florida, and other states which don't regulate migrant transportation, it's worse. 

Description:The third in a series of articles based on the six months that Dale Wright posed as a migrant worker on the Atlantic Seaboard. Here, he focuses on the conditions in which workers are transported in the state of Florida and nationally.
