Answer: Bracero program

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bracero program by the United States was initiated during the second World War as America found a lot of her young men engaged in the war effort wither by actually fighting or performing support roles in the country.

Additional laborers were therefore needed for the farms and agricultural endeavors. The Bracero program enabled this to happen by inviting thousands of Mexicans to labor in various states including Washington and California and it guaranteed them a minimum wage of 30 cents an hour.
