The Bracero Program Is Initiated | |
| The Bracero Program began on August 4, 1942 after the United States entered World War II. With American men going off to fight the war, the US needed farm laborers to tend to the growing demands of the agribusinesses supporting the war effort. The Bracero Program was a bilateral collaboration between the Mexican and United States governments designed to allow controlled migration of Mexican Nationals into the US to work as farm labor.
