Cover. Former migrant worker Carlos Munoz stands with other retired men in front of a federal building in Monterrey, Mexico, on Thursday, January 16, 2003. More than 100 men participated in this peaceful demonstration. They are among some 2.5 million Mexicans who toiled in the United States between 1942 and 1964 under a guest worker plan known as the “Bracero” program. The Alianza Braceroproa, which represents thousands of such men and their heirs, is campaigning to find restitution for the millions of dollars in savings and pension funds that were withheld from the men's pay and apparently “disappeared” at a government bank in Mexico.
