When I was a small child attending grade school in Oxnard, CA, many of my classmates’s parents were working on truck farms on the Brassero program. That was during the Eisenhower administration. Somehow, when the Democrats were voted back into power, everything fell apart.

Things are really bad, that is a given today.

“A viable and workable guest worker program would be the best solution in my opinion. Couple the guest worker program with a defended border and a workable verification system and we have gone a long way toward solving the problem.”

You, sir, are 100% correct.

The bracero program was killed by President Kennedy in 1963. This was the result of an Edward R. Murrow documentary on CBS called "Harvest of Shame" in 1958 which exposed the conditions of migrant guest workers and galvanized opposition to the program.
