Hey all,
Dring the Second World War, America had a crippling labor shortage in the Pacific Northwest due to the, ah, war. In response the US instituted the Bracero Program, which let around 4 million Mexicans work in the area.
What would the ramifications have been of no bracero program? Or using another group? Say, Chinese?
(Obviously the latter requires no Sino-Japanese War, but there's precedent, of a kind, from WW 1).
