Title
Braceros prepare their food in a living quarter on a camp near McAllen, Texas.
Description
On a Texas farm, 200 braceros, stacked like drygoods, share a long, shed-like building with double-deck canvas beds. Besides from their close living conditions they prepared food by themselves. As they were used to it and it was affordable with even low wages, they mostly made tortillas.
