Steinbeck describes the migrants as dangerous new barbarians. What does he mean

Answer: John Steinbeck born 1902 was an American author that also won the Nobel prize for his realistic and imaginative writings.

He wrote lots of books and in one of his books, he described Migrants as dangerous new barbarians. This was during the great depression. What he meant by this text is that, a hungry migrant is hungry. But a migrant whose kids are hungry can be dangerous because this individual can go to any length to feed their kids. This indicates an action or behaviour that benefits another or others at some cost to the performer.
