Was the Bracero program started in 1945 "amnesty"? How many illegals were there in the US in 1945?

The Bracero program was initiated in 1942 to provide additional manual labor to satisfy demand brought on by World War II. After about 3 million Mexicans entered the USA under this program the program was finally suspended in 1964. After the Braceros returned to their respective homes they continued to cross the border to work on the farms and ranches of this country.
