- Two countries, one program, two brothers, one family... The Bracero Program (from the Spanish word brazo, meaning "arm") was a series of laws and diplomatic agreements, initiated in 1942, between the United States and Mexico, for the importation of temporary contract laborers from Mexico to the United States. From this program, many braceros were able to secure green cards and legal residency, while others (known as 'quits') simply left the fields and headed for work in the cities. Today, millions of Mexican Americans trace their families' roots in the US to their fathers' or grandfathers' arrival as braceros. Many though, when their papers expired, were sent back to Mexico. Inspired by actual events of two brothers who were part of The Bracero Program, journey with two Mexican brothers, in the early days of the Bracero program, while they learn what it takes to be an American.
