Abstract

The object of the following study is to trace the trends in, and the forces behind, United States immigration legislation, and international Agreements between the United States and Mexico, as regards temporary Mexican migratory agricultural labor. The specific trend with which the study will be concerned will be that of the direction in which the immigration legislation and the subsequent agreements have progressed, by changes and additions, in regard to the working and welfare conditions afforded the Mexican national who legally temporarily migrated to the United States to accept employment and thereby alleviated the farm labor shortages which have existed periodically in the United States from 1917 through 1950.
