ORIGINAL INFO: In this Patreon-sponsored riff, Linkara looks at a dreary little short discussing migrant workers in the United States!

Asking "Why Braceros?" isn't really important. I think the real question is "What does Bob Corby think about Braceros?"

[@morganyoung3557]

nepomusik as long as the Braceros follow the way of Bob Corby he will welcome them with open arms. Bob Corby is a just lord.

[@daelen.cclark]

What’s a bracero?

[@spookyrosev6467]

Man even in the 50’s this short wanted people to shut up about how foreigners “took our jerbs”.

[@timafterdark3759]

SpookyRoseV they took our jerbs!!! They drib a drib!!! Cock a doo doo!!!

[@daelen.cclark]

As good as it was gonna get for the time.

[@Zinervawyrm]

When the narrator said, "Most farm workers avoid this kind of job," I pictured him saying, "and that's why we use Mexicans." Then he basically actually said it, and I cracked up. LOL XD

[@Nintendon85]

I love how contradictory this is. "We need the help of Braceros, but we barely use them." "Braceros are treated well, but rest assured, we screw them over at every opportunity!"

[@Rolld20]

Good lord, what was the target audience for this film? Farmers? Congressmen? Prospective braceros? Who would have benefited from watching this?!

[@luisreyes1963]

Rolld20 Not the Trump Administration, that's for sure.

[@Nintendon85]

Americans who want to be reassured immigrant workers were still being abused.

My late grandfather was a bracero for a few years before moving on to factory work, so this is especially funny for me

[@Kolbjornelenano]

My grandfather was a bracero too!

[@sillygrl23]

I love your riffs Linkara, I hope we can look forward to more in the coming future. :D

[@LowCountryMatt]

I don't know why, but I think I need to consult with Vincent Price to see how I should feel about this short. Top notch riffing.

[@DogoHalibar]

Bribe form? So this is for Ferengi?

[@Tareltonlives]

I love how even the obvious stuff the short is about is completely lost on xenophobes.

[@luisreyes1963]

This is the very film that got Cesar Chavez on the road to militant migrant laborer activism.

[@curtisdavis5562]

And Although This May Sound Weird, Trump The Idea To Build A Wall Before His Presidency!

[@PapaTaurean]

Remember when you could smoke at your desk at work? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[@Kolbjornelenano]

My grandfather was a bracero :)

[@Kur10usity]

Please make more riffs!!

[@averagegamecritic]

To be fair, what they mean is that the small fraction ripples throughout the economy, a small difference can displace huge things.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

behold the first pro immigrant film!

[@TheNumnutRandomness]

Sorry Linkara, this the only one I can't get through. Despite all your entertaining commentary, it's just so boring! I always fall asleep before it ends.

[@alfonsord24]

@13:06 HA HA HA HA! !!!!

[@victormendoza7976]

Reminds me of those dub-overs that Cr1TiKaL does. And that's a great thing.

[@ZoanBlade90]

Why not Braceros?

[@luisreyes1963]

ZoanBlade90 Because we can't use college students who defaulted on their student loans. Yet. 😓

[@luisreyes1963]

Aqua-Marine UK Go haunt SMOSH with your lame remarks.

[@thelittleredhairedgirlfrom6527]

Under 100 club!!! Woo hoo!!!

[@rolyngeorges7315]

No matter what they call it it’s just another form of Slavery. Also the farmers and slave owners were and still are being very lazy as fuck. Plus, farmers and other Americans forget that this country was literally built on the backs of foreigners and slaves. They really need to stop complaining. I’m sorry if I’m ranting here but me being Haitian and African American I really take this to heart.
