- W2187777386 abstract "Prior to the formal end of the Bracero Program in 1964, different factions sought to influence federal legislation according to their own interests. While many American newspapers represented the Program’s closure as a peaceful shift from hiring Mexican to domestic workers, the dialogue between growers, workers, social advocates, and others reflected dissonance. Although growers could no longer contract braceros, they continued to hire many Mexican workers illegally, a continuation of employment patterns during the Program. I investigate the social healthcare and education programs promoted by social workers as they introduced reform to Mexican laborers through grassroots movements, especially as migrant labor conditions deteriorated in the 1950s and 1960s when Mexico’s ability to protect its citizens declined. I reviewed newspapers, policy papers, Congressional debates, legislation, and the documents that social workers retained. The paper binds the discourses of social workers with the legislation that often ignored their interests. Despite their ineffectiveness in shaping policy, social workers interpreted legislation in ways designed to protect all workers, regardless of their legal status. This paper argues that social workers played on sympathies that the American public held for domestic workers and children to shape immigration and farm labor legislation in a way that would improve the workspace of all farm workers. By circumventing more controversial topics and focusing on the distresses of domestic migrant workers and youths without education and healthcare, social workers implemented public services attended by all agricultural workers, regardless of domestic or immigrant status. Their efforts helped lay the groundwork for community networks." @default.
