Answer 1

The Bracero program contributed to the growth of industry in Texas during mid-20th century.

B. the Bracero program

Step-by-step explanation:

During World War II, “Mexican Farm Labor Agreement” was signed by U.S with Mexico and the bracero program was initiated on August 4, 1942.

The bracero program was introduced to meet the shortage in farm labors during the World War II. Mexican workers replaced the American workers through the bracero program.

The bracero program made American farms and factories remain productive even during the World War II, this causes the growth of industry in Texas during the mid-20th century.
