Answer:

The bracero program grew out of a series of bi-lateral agreements between Mexico and the United States that allowed millions of Mexican men to come to the United States to work on, short-term, primarily agricultural labor contracts.

Answer:

The bracero program was created by executive order in 1942 because many growers argued

that World War II would bring labor shortages to low-paying agricultural jobs. On August 4,

1942 the United States concluded a temporary intergovernmental agreement for the use of

Mexican agricultural labor on United States farms (officially referred to as the Mexican Farm

Labor Program), and the influx of legal temporary Mexican workers began. But the program

lasted much longer than anticipated. In 1951, after nearly a decade in existence, concerns

about production and the U.S. entry into the Korean conflict led Congress to formalize the

Bracero Program with Public Law 78.
