Summary:

Report by Joyce C. Vialet (CRS) prepared for the Subcom on Immigration. Summarizes history of the Mexican Bracero Program, 1942-64, and the British West Indies (BWI) temporary foreign worker program, 1943-77. Both programs were used to provide a seasonal labor force for American agriculture under the Immigration and Nationality Act H-2 provision, which allows temporary importation of nonimmigrant workers provided DOL certifies that qualified U.S. workers are unavailable and that wages and working conditions will not be adversely affected
