Today is the anniversary of the Bracero program which brought Mexican laborers to the U.S. beginning in 1942. The program lasted for over 20 years during which over 4 million Mexican laborers, or Braceros, came to work in the United States. While the program was contentious during its period, we honor those workers for their efforts in the agricultural sector.
Today we continue to see migrant workers as a significant source of agricultural labor and recognize and value the work that goes into putting food on the table.
