That's my call too. If we can document that we paid, it's a no-brainer.

Former bracero Reyes Piñón complained in a 1948 letter to President Miguel Aleman that a member of Mexico's Secret Service illegally withdrew all the money in his savings account.

Archival documents in the United States and Mexico show that American diplomats monitoring the treaty in the 1940s warned superiors in Washington that misconduct in Mexico was resulting in the cheating of braceros.

Other documents, apparently from the Mexican president's office, show that government regulators scolded bank officials for diverting bracero money to cover day-to-day bank operations.

Just another typical business day in Mexico.
