The bracero program ended in 1964, wasn’t that about the time that Ted Kennedy introduced some legislation about allowing in more migrant labor? And isn’t this about the time Cesar Chavez started organizing the United Farm Workers?

I am not sure of the exact dates, but I do know that the Farm Workers Union was against the program and did not wanted it extended or replaced with a similar program. They where also against amnasty for illegal immigration. Things changed after they where recognized by the grower. They where eventually taken over by commies and some weirdos and spiritualist (satanist??). In my youth and ignorance I supported their boycott. The growers did abuse these people, and so deserved getting the union formed. IMHO
