> Bracero Program,
The Bracero Program was a temporary U.S.-Mexico guest worker labor program that ran from 1942 to 1964, bringing Mexican workers to work mainly in U.S. agriculture and also in railroad jobs. It was officially created to address labor shortages during World War II, and it involved contracts for millions of workers.
Employers were required to provide adequate housing, food, and sanitation.
The Bracero Program was terminated in 1964 due to concerns about its impact on domestic labor and the economy.
The Bracero Program did not provide citizenship to participants; it was a temporary labor program that allowed Mexican workers to enter the U.S. for seasonal agricultural and railroad work under contracts from 1942 to 1964.
