Why the change?

Run a search on a 1958 CBS documentary titled "Harvest of Shame," and you'll see why Kennedy killed the Bracero program in 1963.

You tell me. I’m not going to search for an old biopic. Friends and family in Calif used braceros for years. They could cut and bud roses and ornamental plants wonderfully well. And they were paid well for their service. They were excellent in managing grapes. Today they have been replaced by illegals in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino. I don’t think that’s a good trade-off.
