During the Bracero Program, which began in 1942, Mexican laborers were offered wartime farming jobs in the United States. The program aimed to address labor shortages caused by World War II, allowing Mexican workers to fill positions in agriculture and other sectors. This initiative helped sustain the U.S. agricultural economy during the war while providing employment opportunities for thousands of Mexican nationals.

Mexican Americans played a significant role in World War II, serving in various capacities both on the front lines and on the home front. Approximately 500,000 Mexican Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces, contributing to key battles and campaigns throughout the war. Additionally, they were vital to the wartime economy, working in factories and fields under programs like the Bracero Program, which addressed labor shortages. Their contributions helped challenge stereotypes and laid the groundwork for the civil rights movements that followed the war.

Mexican males were offered farming jobs from 1942-1964. Known as the Bracero Program, a series of bi-lateral agreements between Mexico and the United States allowed Mexican males to come to the United States to work on, short-term, primarily agricultural labor contracts. In this 22 year time-span, 4.6 million contracts were signed, with many individuals returning multiple times on different contracts, making it the largest U.S. contract labor program.
The Bracero Program, established during World War II, offered temporary agricultural jobs to Mexican laborers in the United States to address labor shortages caused by the war. These workers were recruited to help with essential tasks on farms, such as planting, harvesting, and maintaining crops, particularly in the western states. The program aimed to boost agricultural productivity while providing Mexican workers with wages and the opportunity to support their families back home. It became a significant component of U.S. agricultural labor during the war years.
