Bracero Program left Mexicans used

The braceros labored tirelessly thinning sugar beets, picking cucumbers and tomatoes, and weeding and picking cotton. The braceros, a very experienced farm labor, became the foundation for the development of North American agriculture.
Despite their enormous contribution to the American economy, the braceros suffered harassment and oppression from extremist groups and racist authorities.

I found this on the site listed above. It is a perfect statement of how Braceros helped develop the North American Agriculture. They worked extremely hard during this time while American men were off at war. When wartime ended, so did the Bracero program. Many groups and politicians faught vigorously to send these workers back to Mexico. They weren't give true credit for keep our nation afloat . Many were upset that Braceros were coming into the southwest. As Walls and Mirrors discusses forums would come to the conclusion that the Bracero program had contributed to the nation during the war had been "subverted to the crass desires of American ranchers and farmers at the expense of American citizen labor which is being displaced in increasing numbers and whose wages are being depressed more and more." Garcia felt opposite saying, "Would thirty thousand Americans migrate... if they did not have to? Would they leave thier homes and schools to migrate to uncertainty if thye could make a living at home? Would they expose their children to sickness and death if they did not have to?"
this program helped the Mexicans and Mexicans help America, but its clear they are not greated with a handshake and a thank you but rather a slap in the face for "displacing" American farm workers and taking their jobs.
