              <text>well, it was a long long time ago.  So long i barely remember all the detail.  ALL i remember is the pain and hardship that was caused to me and my brothers.

              <text>I was born on January 23rd 1947 in Pomona California. As far back as I can remember my father was a Farm Labor Foreman. He had a 1947 red ford truck with a cabin in the back to transport the workers. Most of the time he would pick them up in Irwindale, California, but sometimes at the camp in Pomona or Upland California. As time went on he bought a 1956 Chevrolet truck and later a 1965 Chevrolet truck. Each time the cabin in the back got larger. My father would leave our house in San Dimas, Califorina at about 4:30 a.m. each morning, usually 7 days a week. My mother would gut up earlier to make him breakfast, and lunch which consisted of burritosn and were packed in a Thermos lunchbox. As kids my older brother and I would go with him on Saturdays and pick Oranges, Lemons, Tomatoes, Cucumbert, Peas, Grapefruit, or whatever was in season. Each Noverber we would go to Porterville, California, for the Orange season. This lasted until about 1965 when the program ended. I still have many pictures of my father in groves with the Braceros, and of his trucks.</text>

              <text>My father, Refugio Villalobos Perez came to the US via the Bracero Program in 1955. He left five of my brothers/sisters and my mother in Santa Maria Transportina, Jalisco for the opportunity to get to 'El Norte' via the Bracero Program. Once established, my father broughy my brothers/sisters and mohter to the US. Three siblings were born in the US. &#13;
&#13;
My father worked many diferent jobs to support his nine children. He ended up working in the SF laborers union until his retirement. He and my mother spend his retiremtn between his ranch in Mexico and his hom ein northern CA.&#13;
&#13;
I am proud of my jefe and the sacrifices he made to make a better life for his famila. &#13;
&#13;
Four of his children attended UC Berkeley and the other five children took on union trades/careers. His oldest daughter, born in Mexico, is a year away from obtaining her PHD. He is the proud grandfather of over 20 grandchilren and recnetly welomed great grand children to the familia. Several of his grandchildren are in college and a grandchild recently graduated from UC Berkeley.&#13;
&#13;
My fathers favorite sayings are:&#13;
&#13;
1. Como un rio, siempre para delante!&#13;
2. Tiene uno que trabajar con coraje!&#13;
3. Nunca pienses que se te va cerrar el mundo.&#13;
4. No tengas miedo dejar un trabajo, el nuevo trabajo va ser mejor. &#13;
5. Hay que tener fe.&#13;
&#13;
I carry my fathers bracero card in my wallet as a reminder that I can never give up on bettering what my jefe started. &#13;
&#13;
I am proud of my father and mother and what they did for thier familia. </text>

              <text>A couple of days ago I found out that my father had been part of the Bracero Program. He passed away when I was about four years old, so I would like to know about him. Hopefully I can find some sort of information here. His name was Manuel Lopez Hurtado he was from Jalisco and was probably about twenty years around the time. He was a cotton picker and worked mostly in Texas until his boss help him and some other men immigrate and he then moved to McFarland, CA. It would be nice to know a little about his life during this time since what my mom has told me is very little.</text>

              <text>Unfortunately my dad, who was a bracero during 1958-63, does not have any proof or evidence that he was actually a bracero worker back then.  My dad recalls that after he became a legal US resident one time he was traveling from Tamaulipas to Houston, an immigration agent from the border in Hidalgo saw his bracero ID card in my dad’s wallet and kindly asked if he could have it for his personal collection purposes, so my dad gave him his card (I still cant believe my dad did this).  My dad says the agent convinced him by saying he would never need it since the program was over and he was now a legal resident.  He never knew the name of this agent.  Now my dad has no other way to prove his background as bracero since he never imagined he would sometime in his life need his id, check stubs or contracts from these companies that were enrolled in the bracero programs back then.  He can’t recall the names of the companies he worked for since he would work for a company for a month and then work for another one the next month and since the companies names were in English it would be more difficult for him to remember the names. My Dad is currently living in Houston Texas.  If you have a family member who had his bracero id card collected by an Hidalgo border agent perhaps together we can investigate about this person or testify about this as a group.  Does anyone out there knows anything about immigration agents who got these bracero id cards for personal collection purposes please contact me at tamu50@hotmail.com.. Is there a place here in texas or in mexico that perhaps has records of all these bracero people who worked in the US back then?&#13;
&#13;
Lamentablemente mi padre que fue bracero desde 1958-63 no cuenta con ningun tipo de evidencia para probar que fue uno de estos trabajadores. Mi padre dice que despues de haber arreglado su residencia y al cruzar el puente hacia los estados unidos,un oficial de la immigracion (nunca supo su nombre) en hidalgo texas le pidio cortesmente la identificacion de bracero al versela en su cartera diciendole que el las estaba coleccionando y que ya no la iba a necesitar lo cual mi papa hizo (que se me hace increible que mi padre haya hecho esto ya que es una persona muy desconfiada con documentos importantes sobre todo tarjetas de identificacion)  y ahora no sabe como mostrar evidencia ya que jamas imagino que iba a necesitar sus talones de cheques o contratos alguna ves en su vida, mi padre vive en Houston, Texas, Si tienes algun familiar que le paso lo mismo con su tarjeta con algun agente de Hidalgo, alomejor juntos podemos averiguar o testiguar que hubo alguien en immigracion coleccionando estas tarjetas de identificacion..Alguien tiene informacion sobre trabajadores de imigracion que estuvieron coleccionando estas tarjetas porfavor contacteme a tamu50@hotmail.com??...hay algun lugar aqui en texas que hayan guardado records de toda esta gente que venia a trabajar aca?&#13;

              <text>My father was a bracero emigrant, through him my mother and brother get into the United States. at that time I was attending forth grade at Toribio Benavente Elementary school, the years in the school Fabens Grade School where difficult for my brother and me, I was only a teenager and my brother was three years younger then me, In the school I had to bear the language barriers, When I used to asked my apparently friend, in  the school Can you help me? in this poem? She will said, sure I help you, but only to put the wrong words in the poem to make the others mack at me, Like my horse went to drink water and I was eating his food, things like that, to make every one laugh. Of course except the teacher, which I appreciated that. but at that time I was so Innocent, I mean If someone said,one thing I don't have the malicious to think differently. I only stood in that school two years, my father keep saying that taking care of us it was too expensive, my mother used to go to Juarez,Chih to take care of my others brothers and sisters who where fifteen in total.&#13;
 During that time I have to find the way to find me a job, nobody wanted to hire a 16 years old girl. I end up working as a farm worker wish was a hard work, I have to wake up so earlier in order to be in time for the buses that arrived to  El Paso Texas just across the border from Juarez and El Paso  those buses take us to Canutillo, To New Mexico, to Fabens, Texas We used to be around 3:00A.M. with our lunch and a second pair of shoes and extra clothes, I have to wear long sleeves and gloves, a big hat for the sun and a lot of strength to work  and to support the heat,When the foreman where asking the boss at the end of the day, " are we going to pay her like the rest of the workers? "He said of course! she worked the same as the rest of the farm workers and even more" I used to clean the borders of the lakes, that, the weeds almost rising us for being so high and hard to see the canal, Also we were working withe the short azadon,were you have to bend yourself the whole time in other to clean and separated the lettuce and live space for the plant to grow, also in pick up the onions, or tomatoes. For only nine dollars a day. My mother used to be called the guerita for having a fair skin and working in the sun make her skin so red.    </text>

              <text>Hello, My name is Carla.  I was given up at birth by my Biological Mother, Patricia Phares.  She will not tell me who my father is.  I only know a few things other than I look like him so here is the information I have about him:&#13;
&#13;
1. My father worked on Herbert Phares Farm in Indiana&#13;
   planting &amp; harvesting tomatos&#13;
2. He worked the 1965 tomato season&#13;
3. He &amp; my mother dated a few times&#13;
4. He stayed in Indianapolis, Indiana at the housing unit&#13;
4. I was born in May of 1966&#13;
&#13;
So I am looking for any information &amp;/or records from this time period for this area.  Maybe I can find someone who knew of their relationship or possibly find my father.&#13;
&#13;
I really would like to know him.  No expectations other than knowing him.  I have a lot of health problems and family information would be helpful.&#13;
&#13;
Please lead the way to finding my DAD.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;
&#13;
Carla</text>

              <text>My Grandfather Severo Jimenez from Jalisco came to the U.S twice through the bracero program. His first adventure was to Chicago, Illinois. I don't know too much about his stay there as he rarely mentioned that trip. His second trip was to Anaheim, California. He told me about picking oranges for a Filipino foreman. He happily remembered that while perched up on the tree he would take the orange tree leaves and "play" them like an instrument. Taking the leaf to his lips he would make it play like a "trumpet". He would entertain his comrades with melody requests. He told me about a time the foreman asked him to come to his house on the weekend and "play" for his family. My grandpa happily attended as he was promised ten american dollars to "play" an orange leaf.. he laughed as he told me this story. He must of found it amusing that someone would pay him to play a leaf. &#13;
A musician at heart he always found a way to create music around him. He wrote many "corridos" about his life. I have the words to one in specific about his journey as a bracero. Unfortunately I was never able to get the music written down. My Grandpa passed away last August 2013 and while there are several stories I was able to write down about his life I am sad that I missed so many others. I have a notebook that I hand wrote as he dictated his life so often. &#13;
&#13;
My plan is to write a memoir about what I do know about his life. &#13;
If anybody that happens to read this ever met him please don't hesitate to contact me. </text>

The Martinez family lived in Claremont, California. During the 1940s, the children, who were U.S. citizens, picked fruit alongside Braceros both locally in the San Gabriel Valley, and as migrant workers throughout California’s Central Valley. This photo shows Daniel Fernandez Martinez of Claremont and two of his nine children picking Kadota figs in Planada, California. &#13;

I a son of a California farmer--in Chula Vista, CA (Otay Valley) we had a Bracero "camp" of about 40-50 Mexican workers for several years .  I was born in 1948--after my family was released from Poston internment camp since we were detained as Japanese Americans. &#13;
&#13;
Memories were that as a kid--I woud run down to the camp during lunch to get burritos from the workers--the workers seem to love to share their food.  &#13;
&#13;
Years and Years late--1990's---I was working as a lobbyist in Sacramento....I had the opportunity to meet new members of the California State Assembly.  I had a meeting to meet a new member from Chula Vista--Juan Vargas a young Harvard trained new elected Legislator.  During our meet and greet--Juan told me that his dad came to California as a Bracero working with a farmer named Takashima.  I told him that farmer was my dad.  &#13;
&#13;
What wonderful turn of events---I am lobbyist seeking votes from person (Juan Vargas) that would not be in California but for his dad having the opportunity to come to California &#13;

              <text>My father, Domingo Ruiz, Sr., was 12 when in 1915 he walked completely alone &#13;
from San Luiz Potosi, Mexico, then a small village, and now the capital of a &#13;
state in Mexico by the same name, to San Antonio, Texas. The trip was dangerous &#13;
from many aspects: There was hardly any infrastructure to speak of at the time, &#13;
the area was full of bandits robbing the various mines in the region, and the &#13;
Mexican Revolution was in full force.  My father inadvertently went northeast, &#13;
instead of due north, and had to cross first the treacherous Panuco river that &#13;
traverses a deep tropical valley at the edge of the plateau on which the state &#13;
sits, and then the formidable Sierra Madre. He had no money on his journey, and &#13;
he knew no one in San Antonio when he arrived.   My father died in an automobile accident at a relatively young age, but not before leaving a family firmly established in this country. &#13;

She said that many braceros would reverse their last names (mother/father's names) because they knew that that was the custom in the US. Then these names would be reversed again by the processors! &#13;
