Braceros. The Bracero program aimed at importing Mexican agricultural labor to replace Americans now in the service. "Bracero" roughly translates as "strong arm"
Mexican workers provided labor on American farms
The Bracero Program, initiated during World War II, allowed millions of Mexican laborers to work temporarily in the United States, addressing severe labor shortages in agriculture and other industries. By filling these gaps, the program ensured a steady supply of essential food and materials for the war effort, contributing to the overall productivity of American farms and factories. Additionally, it helped maintain the domestic workforce as many American men were serving in the military. Overall, the Bracero Program played a crucial role in sustaining the economy and supporting the Allied forces during the war.

A significant drawback of the Bracero Program for the U.S. was the exploitation of Mexican laborers, who often faced poor working conditions, inadequate pay, and limited legal protections. Additionally, the program contributed to social tensions and labor disputes, as domestic workers sometimes felt threatened by the influx of low-wage labor. This led to long-term challenges in labor relations and immigration policy in the country.
