BACKGROUND: With the end of the Temporary Foreign Workers (TWF)program in 1964, Congress claimed that they were trying to improve the lives of Mexicanfarm laborers in the United States. The TFW program was created by the BraceroAccords in 1942. By the 1960shundreds of thousands of Mexican workers resided in the US under the treaty in impoverished condition.It was felt thatremoving foreign Mexican workerswould increase the wages of American farm workers. However, nothing could be further from the truth.What actually occurred was that a large number of theMexican workers decided to stay in the United States and continue to work illegally in the US than return the hardships they faced inMexico. But, because they were illegal aliens without documentation liable to deportation,they proved to be easily exploited by the ranchers and farmers who employed them. This button issued by the Brown Berets encourages Mexican workers to "Get Organized".
The Brown Berets (BB) were a revolutionaryChicanogroup at the forefront of the Mexican American civil rights movement. They were closely aligned with the Black Panther Party (BPP) and employed many of the Panthers tactics.
