Miguel Ángel Guerrero Lechón, The Mexican-Canadian Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program: Evolution and Outlook, 1974-2012

Over and beyond its immediate benefits to both Mexico and Canada, the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program is a policy promoted by the Mexican government to provide migrant workers with the tools and opportunities they need to be the masters of their own development and, in turn, contribute to the development of Mexico. Miguel Ángel Guerrero Lechón looks at some of the more relevant aspects of the Program, how it came about and how it functions, including details of the selection and migratory processes workers are subject to. Finally, he lists some of the major operating, political and migratory obstacles the Program must overcome in order to stay up and running.
