Braceros walk along railroad tracks near the Monterrey Processing Center, Mexico.

On their long dusty trek toward a recruiting center at Monterrey, braceros approach the cross-topped grave of one of their number who died along the way. The white monument marks the site of a meeting of President Roosevelt and Mexico's President Camacho.
Original Caption: "To reach one of the Control Stations where they report for processing as prospective farm laborers, the braceros trudge long, dusty distances with all their belongings on their backs. In the foreground is a rocky grave of some bracero who died along the trek. The marble marker behind it commemorates the meeting of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Aleman of Mexico at this point." (#5)
