During the 1940's, 50's, and 60's, the U.S. and Mexico had a migrant farm worker program called the "bracero program" that brought thousands of Mexican workers to the U.S. to work in the fields. Have you ever heard of the "bracero" program?

Yes

Don't Know/Refused

How would you describe the "bracero" program?

A useful program that provided Mexican workers with jobs and filled labor shortages in the U.S

Both

Allowing "illegal" immigrant farm workers to get papers to enter the United States legally?

Favor

Allowing illegal immigrant farm workers to get work permits and eventually become permanent residents in exchange for several years of mandatory agricultural labor?

Favor

Bringing increased numbers of immigrants into the United States on a temporary basis for farm labor when there are labor shortages?

Favor

Do you think the U.S. should:

Try its best to keep "illegal immigrants" from working in the United States

Enact a program that allows "illegal immigrants" to work temporarily in the U.S. legally

Some experts say that over 50 percent of farm workers working in the United States are "illegal aliens". Do you think these farm workers:

Generally take agricultural jobs that Americans do not want

Neither

Do you think a program to allow foreign farm workers to enter the U.S. legally to do seasonal farm work would:

Hurt American Workers

Have little or no effect on American Workers

Farm workers are some of the lowest paid workers in the U.S. Do you agree or disagree that they should receive higher wages even if it causes food prices to rise?

Agree
