The goal of the bracero program was:

B. workers for industries affected by labor shortages.

The bracero program was a series of bilateral agreements between the United States and Mexico from 1942 to 1964 that allowed Mexican laborers to work temporarily in the United States to address labor shortages in various industries, primarily agriculture. The program aimed to provide a legal and regulated framework for Mexican workers to meet the labor demands in the United States during World War II and its aftermath. The focus was on supplying workers, rather than specifically addressing fair wages, citizenship, or housing for the immigrant farmworkers.
