Mexican Farmworkers in the United States
By: Forest Reinhardt and Jonathan Schlefer
Abstract
This note discusses the centuries-long history and current situation of Mexican farmworkers north of the border—documented or undocumented, resident or temporary, and increasingly indigenous. The story provides the background for discussion of dilemmas facing policymakers, agricultural enterprises, and the workers themselves.
