Title
An official examines a bracero's hands for callouses in the Monterrey Processing Center, Mexico.
Description
Employers preferred braceros who have already worked as farmworkers and therefore have callouses on their hands and also well-trained muscles, which was later checked by agents from the Texas growers association at the Hidalgo Processing Center, Texas.
