  • Hi Yesenia - You should talk to Leonel Flores in Fresno at Union de Ex-Braceros e Inmigrantes (UNEI). I hope this helps. I'm doing a book know with all the portraits I have made over the last several years. If your grandfather is interested in being a part, please contact me. Other braceros welcome too. -Craig

  • My last name is Braceros:)

  • I nearly cried when the one man said he lost three children. Children always have to suffer because of greedy men. This world is sick. What the braceros had to go thru was inhumane. Now my felow Americans are complaining about illegal immigrants. We started this problem in the first place. We have nobody to blame but oursellves.

  • can u send me the original spanish audio? I wanna compare it to what you actually translated it to.

  • Amazing. Has this been completed yet?

    I have been gathering information about the Bracero program for a class project; however, the main reason has been to get to know a bit more about my past. My maternal grandfather was part of the guest-worker program, and my mom often expressed her sorrow for how badly they were treated. Nonetheless, these men endured hardship and humiliation to ensure the future of generations to come. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

  • MY NAME IS YESENIA BAUTISTA. THANK YOU EVERYONE

  • If anyone knows or has information on were or who i have to talk to get that for him PLEASE PLEASE HELP US.

  • My grandfather was a bracero in the 1950's he worked so hard for his family in mexico. my grandpa was the giving the chance to become a US citezen if he met his work contract which he did. when he return to mexico for his family he lost his bracero identification card (also known as a mica) in the process of the move. In order to receive the money that the goverment still owes alot of the braceros he needs prove that he was a bracero!

  • God bless these men. They had families to support and thirst for work. Some people do not understand why Mexicans have so much pride. It is because of THIS because of how much heart we have, because we are honest hard working people. Because we believe in working hard for what we want and once given the opportunity we thrive. Everyone who comes to America has that same opportunity, but some dont take it, even those who are natural born citizens!!
