Thank you for liking Harvest of Loneliness. Share the film with people who are trying to understand how Mexican and Indigenous people became the producers of food for the United States and still are treated so poorly.

Secty of agriculture wants the bracero program back. "He wants Trump “to separate immigration, which is people wanting to become citizens, [from] a temporary, legal guest-worker program. ....[BUT] Family preference migration, in which immigrants can get residence visas (green cards) based on their family relationships, was won by the civil rights movement. Bert Corona, Cesar Chavez and others convinced Congress to end the bracero program in 1964. They fought for an immigration policy based on family unification, instead of one based on growers’ desire for a low-wage labor supply."

The Trump administration says no to family immigration, but yes to guest workers.

Gil, Adrian and I with the help of many many people, put this film about citizenship, exploitation, and migration together in 2010. It is as relevant if not more so now. Please watch and screen it.
