Other America - Braceros
In 1942 the federal government initiated a program where Mexican Braceros were allowed to come into the United States and to harvest crops. From 1942 to 1947 hundreds of thousands of Braceros came into American. The federal government had the Braceros come into America because there were very few labor workers in the United States after the war. When the Braceros employment in the United States ended they were supposed to return to Mexico but a lot of them stayed in the United States illegally.
