Answer: D) They helped meet labor shortages for industry.
The braceros program was an agreement between Mexico and the U.S to recruit more than 300,000 Mexicans to work low-paying agricultural jobs in the United States.
Although they did help run the railroads for the transportation of agricultural products, they did not produce more automobiles, therefore B is not the answer. Moreover, people were not hired to produce new varieties of vegetables nor was irrigation introduced by them, ruling out option A and C. The answer is D. Mexicans were brought to the U.S to help meet labor shortages for the agricultural industry, as there were not enough people working in it at the time.
The National Labor Union (NLU) followed the unsuccessful efforts of labor activists to form a national coalition of local trade unions. The National Labor Union sought instead to bring together all of the national labor organizations in existence, as well as the "eight-hour leagues" established to press for the eight-hour day, to create a national federation that could press for labor reforms and help found national unions in those areas where none existed. The new organization favored arbitration over strikes and called for the creation of a national labor party as an alternative to the two existing parties.
The NLU drew much of its support from construction unions and other groups of skilled employees, but also invited the unskilled and farmers to join. On the other hand, it campaigned for the exclusion of Chinese workers from the United States and made only halting, ineffective efforts to defend the rights of women and blacks. African-American workers established their own Colored National Labor Union as an adjunct, but their support of the Republican Party and the prevalent racism of the citizens of the United States limited its effectiveness.
The NLU achieved an early success, but one that proved less significant in practice. In 1868, Congress passed the statute for which the Union had campaigned so hard, providing the eight-hour day for government workers. Many government agencies, however, reduced wages at the same time that they reduced hours. While President Grant ordered federal departments not to reduce wages, his order was ignored by many. The NLU also obtained similar legislation in a number of states, such as New York and California, but discovered that loopholes in the statute made them unenforceable or ineffective.
In early 1869, the Chicago Tribune boasted that the NLU had 800,000 members; Sylvis himself put the figure at only 600,000. Both of these figures turned out to be greatly exaggerated.[2] It collapsed when it adopted the policy that electoral politics, with a particular emphasis on monetary reform<span>[citation needed]</span>, were the only means for advancing its agenda. The organization was spectacularly unsuccessful at the polls and lost virtually all of its union supporters, many of whom moved on to the newly formed Knights of Labor. The depression of the 1870s, which drove down union membership generally, was the final factor contributing to the end of the NLU.
I'm assuming you are talking about World War 2. Many Japanese Americans made speeches before and during the war about supporting their country and how America was wrong. Americans started to think that the Japanese would give information back to their country or that they were secretly spying for info. As a result, most Japanese Americans were moved to relocation camps or internment camps and weren't allowed to be in the army or hold jobs.
