Descripción:

Original Bracero Agreement Mexico and U.S. August 1943 The Bracero program was an agreement between the U.S. and Mexican governments that permitted Mexican citizens to take temporary agricultural work in the United States. The managed migration, an unprecedented and radical solution to America’s labor needs, was prompted by the enormous manpower shortage created by World War II. Over the program's 22-year lifespan, more than 4.5 million Mexican citizens were legally hired for work in the United States, primarily in Texas and California.
