Bracero Program
During World War II,
the United States congress was worried about how the agricultural work was
going to get done. They didn’t have enough people who were willing to work as
famers so they approved a temporary entry of migrants from Mexico to do the
work. This was known as the Bracero Program which lasted about twenty-two
years. It employed more then four
million Mexican workers. This program became very controversial. It was very
unfair to the Mexican workers who just wanted the opportunity to better
themselves and work to support their families.
