Now that the families that left everything behind begin to arrive to California, they begin to look for jobs and hope they can reach some kind of financial prosperity, and start some kind of a new lifestyle. People just swarm into California by the numbers, and the highways and ditch banks begin to crowd up with people. Being invaded by migrants, the Californians felt that everything, including them would be ruined. They then decide to form groups that would terrorize the new migrants that were swarming into California. With the hostility that is taking place, the okies unite themselves in order to help each other overcome these hostilities, and ease the pain. The owners of large farms decide to take advantage of small farmers, and drive them out of business, causing them to have no choice, but to follow the same steps as the migrants from Oklahoma.
