In this article Mr. Tobar seems to be blurring the lines between the legal immigration of the bracero program and the illegal immigration of today.

The farm workers union lead by Caesar Chavez lobbied to cancel this program, for understandable reasons. Libtards forget these historical facts when rewriting history.

Yes, correct. This article seems to be clouding the line between illegal alienism and temporary work program

And, even when someone mentions “Temporary Worker” or “Guest Worker”....that is code for “Amnesty”. With high unemployment all around the USA...there is no need for any guest workers....any mention of a “Guest Worker Program” is Amnesty

If you are not willing to seal the border, deport 100% of all Illegal Aliens, and end NAFTA...you support Illegal Alien Amnesty

Launched during the labor shortages of World War II,

There was no WWII labor shortage in Mexico because they supplied practically no personnel for the war effort.

the union killed this successful program.

I have said on FR before that a brocero type program in which labor companies would bring in agriculture workers for a season, then take them home. It worked well before. There may have been a few who walked away but I don't recall any,

The bracero program was a victim of its own success. Bracero contractors were responsible for the conduct of the bracero workers and to provide the basics of food, transportation, housing and medical care. Not saying there weren’t abuses or practices such as mass delousing — there were—but it was a different era.

Ultimately the bracero program was a victim of its own success. Braceros were getting green cards for permanent worker status and performing other jobs than stoop labor. The Kennedy administration killed it at the demand of the unions although there weren’t many union men wanting to do stoop labor in the fields.

A modernized and well-regulated bracero program would be a good way to handle the issue of immigrant labor.
