The purpose of this project is to recover the history of the border agricultural workers, from their origins in rural Mexico, to the agricultural fields of America. This history has been ignored by both countries. Close to 5 million braceros helped this country, yet nobody remembers them. Once they were no longer needed in the United States, the Mexicans who participated in the Bracero Program had to return to their homelands without ever receiving, to this day, recognition for their valuable contribution.
We need to control our borders, but it is always a good idea to learn some history before making new laws.
