Los Braceros: Strong Arms to Aid the U.S.A. examines the United States' 1942 entrance into World War II, which sent soldiers overseas, flooded women into the workforce, and resulted in an immense shortage of labor, especially in the agricultural sector. The creation of the Braceros Program in 1942 under The Braceros Treaty opened the floodgates for legal immigration of Mexican laborers.
