A joint border and shared history tie the United States of America and the United Mexican States, formerly the Republic of Mexico, together. This shared history is rich and complex, shaped by conflict, migration, trade, and policy. The Bracero Program, which was implemented from 1942 to 1964, is a significant part of these countries’ histories, one that is rarely spoken about or seldomly mentioned. The Bracero Program was an era of American history filled with trauma, exploitation, and humiliation for the Bracero workers. The Bracero Program started in the middle of a gruesome war. It forced Mexican men to cross the border to work, with both countries trading men as if they were merely cattle and humiliating these men as if they weren’t human. The Bracero Program was a bilateral agreement that primarily served the interests of the governments of the United States of America, the United Mexican States, and the United States agriculture business. This bilateral agreement symbolizes how these countries benefitted from the labor of hardworking men while humiliating them throughout the process, stealing their wages, and how, ultimately, these two governments abandoned these men in the face of profit.
