While some U.S. lawmakers consider a new Bracero worker program as part of a potential immigration reform package, a new traveling Smithsonian exhibit takes a look back at the benefits and pitfalls of the 1942 agreement between the United States and Mexico to allow 4.5 million Mexican workers to make livings in the United States for more than two decades.  The exhibit is currently at Northwestern University.
