As the Bracero Program met its end on December 1, 1964, “at its peak drew more than 400,000 workers a year across the border. A total of about 4.5 million jobs had been filled by the time the bracero program was abolished in 1964.” (Bauer) One considerable reason for the program’s termination stemmed from the introduction of the mechanical cotton harvester coupled with the presence of thousands of illegal agricultural workers in the U.S. Thus, this destroyed the practicality of the Bracero Program according to Elizabeth Mandeel. The end Bracero Program marked the beginning of other guest worker programs however. The H-2A agricultural program and the H-2B non-agricultural program are two of these programs. Both programs offer significant legal protections for foreign farmworkers and aim to discontinue the immoral practices and procedures experienced in the Bracero Program. Ultimately, the Bracero Program did not benefit Mexico as much as the U.S. but it had its positive outcomes despite the intensive labor and circumstances Braceros had to endure. First it alleviated unemployment in Mexico, “for it allowed over 4 million Mexicans to emigrate.” (Mandeel) Therefore, allowing its people to earn income in order to boost Mexico’s economy. Secondly, it alleviated manpower shortages for farmers because numerous Braceros worked the fields with resulted in no crops to be lost…

Not all analysts agree with the three reports, arguing that STEM executives are causing the domestic STEM workforce shortages. This paper analyses both arguments regarding the domestic STEM workforce shortage: that foreign workers on H-1B visas are beneficial to our labor supply since US schools are not producing enough STEM graduates, and that the domestic STEM workforce…

though I am doing right things. However, a few years later, I realized that I did lead them a wrong way. Now, I try to love my self first and make my boundary as focusing on myself. 2.

Why did I avoided it? Well, I just wanted to be sure that I was going to go on the trip, any contingency could have happened.

The demographics in the post 1965 era was not limited on the number of immigrants that could admitted in the United States from any country in the Western Hemisphere. The Hart-Cellar Act established a ceiling of 120,000 immigrant visas for the Western Hemisphere. The amount of 20,000 immigrants from Mexico was unrealistic in the 1960s. The number of immigrants was dramatic because there was not that many strict laws as now. During the 1960s it was a lot easier to receive a visa, so the amount of…

My current personal goal is to continue attending Marlboro college. This is an intermediate goal since it fits in in under the rest of my life goals. Continuing to go to a college I am already attending might seem like an easy task but there are a lot of factors that play in this situation, both the ones I can and can’t control.
