Braceros spend their leisure time 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. Such close living conditions cause respiratory illnesses among the braceros.
Original Caption: This is housing provided by a Texan farmer for 200 braceros in this long building, with the beds made out of stretched canvas, upper and lower. Such close living conditions make for the high incidence of respiratory illnesses among the braceros.
