The Bracero Program .
Bracero Program, was a temporary contract labor program initiated Aug. 1942 exchange of diplomatic notes between US and Mexico
A significant drawback of the Bracero Program was the exploitation of Mexican workers, who often faced poor working conditions, low wages, and limited legal protections. Many laborers were subjected to unfair treatment and discrimination, leading to a lack of rights and resources to advocate for better conditions.
