Braceros



__**Braceros**__: Braceros are mexican laborers that were brought to work in the United States. Mexico and The United States made an agreement in 1942 that provided transportation, food, shelter, and medical care for the immigrants who were needed because of American shortage on farm laborers. In the short amount of time between 1942 and 1947, over 200,000 braceros were working in American farms, as well as other industries.
