All the world has it's hand out and it is the hard working American Citizen they expect to fill it. I am really getting tired of doing that.

From the article:

"The Bracero program, created in response to a shortage of farm labor in the United States during World War II, allowed Mexicans to enter the country and work in the fields. Ten percent of the braceros' pay was withheld and deposited in savings accounts for return to the workers when they went back to Mexico.

According to U.S. officials, the deductions were deposited in the Banco de Mexico, which transferred the funds to the institution formerly known as Banco Agricola and now called Financiera Rural.

Puente León, who advises the Braceroproa group that advocates on behalf of the former farmhands, says the payments are due to some 90,000 workers or, where applicable, to their heirs."

Hey, Puente! Guess what my "heirs" get from my retirement-SSA- when I die...$255 to bury me! That's it....
Stay in your own country and find out what happened to the money you were to get!
Can you imagine what kind of can of worms we are opening signing this new totalization agreement with Mexico. They'll have the money "lost" in 6 months!
