Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are traditionally three main migratory streams that migrant farm workers follow in the United States: the Eastern stream, the Western stream, and the Texas stream. The Eastern stream originates in southern Florida and goes up the East Coast, while the Western stream originates in Texas and goes up the West Coast. Therefore, the mother's statement aligns with the traditional Eastern migratory pattern.
