Bracero Program
19
In this project we will be analyzing a number of facets of the Bracero Program with a specific focus on the causes, on both sides of the border, which culminated in the agreement. Consequently, we will explore the historical context of the US and Mexico of the first half of the twentieth century, including the impact of the Mexican Revolution as well as the dire situation brought about by the second world war. By utilizing this basis we will then analyze the “migration aspect” entailed by the program, travel from Mexico to the US and various territories. Not only as an in depth look at the agreement, but also as a necessary foundation. One which will permit the Bracero Program to be positioned in history, while simultaneously deepening the exposition and understanding of a largely forgotten case of large-scale abuse and exploitation. We anticipate this will form the backbone of the examination of bracero experiences: first-hand accounts and testimonials.. By Fernando, Joy and Lizeth

The Bracero Program at its core was a set of agreements reached between the US and Mexico, which lasted from the years 1942 to 1964 and permitted Mexicans to temporarily enter the US as workers. The work carried out by these workers was mainly agricultural: harvesting asparagus, lettuce, lemons, tomatoes and cotton. Additionally, almost in observation of the maintenance of US tradition, utilization of immigrant labor for infrastructure, a considerable portion of the labor also included the construction and expansion of the US railroad system. Although, despite the grand opportunity this seemed to Mexican workers at the time, the true nature of the program was exploitative, based on mistreatment and provided extremely poor working conditions. Put simply, the reality of the Bracero Program was little expected by workers who held favorable preconceived notions of the US.Congue nisi vitae suscipit tellus mauris a diam.
