I remember the Brazero program. But do Goodyear’s came along and closed the migrant camps located on farms. Then the temps had to rent places in town. Then the stayed forever.
Then they said the local kids who had been joyfully helping pick crops were too young to learn how to work, making more so called temporary workers necessary.

SORRY, but that wasn’t how it worked in our area. = Our farm had a bunkhouse, central kitchen, bathhouse & we had a GOOD labor contactor (Luis Suarez de Vega), who provided the farmworkers & when the season ended, he transported them back to Mexico or to another jobsite.
