Exploitation vs. Opportunity

Tonight I focused my research on the migrant workers project, and found some interesting information on the history of it all, or specifically, the Bracero Program.

It was particularly interesting because of the article on the encomienda we read for homework. The Bracero program was essentially a form of exploitation of the Mexican migrant workers, and it reminded me of the Spanish exploiting the Indians.

Perhaps different circumstances, but none the less sad and unnecessary.
