We used to have a program that mimicked what Trump did — THE BRACERO PROGRAM under Truman and Eisenhower.

What the heck happened to it?

The labor unions killed the bracero program in 1965. It should be brought back so that Mexican farm workers could come up here and work TEMPORARILY for a few months at a time. The good part about the bracero program was the farm workers kept their dependents in Mexico and were not a burden to American taxpayers.
