Relative to Mexican braceros.

Summary
This measure would urge the United States government to urge the Mexican government to extend the deadline for Mexican laborers, known as braceros, who worked in the United States beginning in 1942 as part of a labor importation program initiated by the United States to alleviate a labor shortage during World War II, to submit a claim to recover unpaid wages from a specified settlement fund. It would also urge the United States government to urge the Mexican government to accept a variety of documents as proof of a valid claim.
