In the 1970 s,Mexico gradually became the largest source of immigration in the United States.The Mexican Agricultural Labor Supply Plan,which was signed in 1942,the Bracero Program,was a key node that triggered the influx of Mexican immigrants into the United States.The Bracero Program has gone through three important periods from its introduction to its eventual abolition,highlighting the entire process of Mexican immigration to the United States during the special period and the transfer of negotiating power between the United States and Mexico during the implementation of the plan.The impact of the program to date still plays a role in the current illegal immigration problem in the United States.This paper consists of introduction,text and conclusion.The introduction part explains the basis and significance of the topic selection,sorts out the relevant research status,and points out the innovation and deficiency.The first part of the text,the introduction of the program before the United States and Mexico immigration situation,which in turn leads to the historical background of the Bracero Program,and analyzes the multiple reasons for signing the treaty from two countries.The second part of the text,elaborates on the many revisions of the Bracero Program in the process of its introduction.The landmark event as the key point of the plan divided into the initial period,the institutionalization period and the end period.Compare the changes in the attitudes of the United States and Mexico over a period of three periods,show the process by which the U.S.has gradually dominated the plan.The third part of the text,explains the economic contribution of the Bracero Program to the United States and Mexico,indirectly improving the employment security of domestic workers in the United States,so that the Labor Department of the United States has redistributed the power,outlining the process of changes in U.S.-Mexico diplomacy during this period,as well as touching the ideological cognition of the Bracero workers themselves.Finally,it focuses on the issue of illegal immigration in the United States during the program.The conclusion part summarizes the thoughts from the introduction of the Bracero Program.The author believes that the key to the first illegal immigration governance lies in the economic and power guarantees that the American society gives to their respective interest groups,and jointly safeguards the social order under the legal guarantee.Secondly,the attitude of the Braceros should be fully affirmed.
