Mexicans Buy False Bracero Cards in Juarez Scam
Thousands of Mexican peasants pay up to 80 dollars for working cards sold by Manuel Casanova claiming a Bracero pact. U.S. Immigration Service says the cards are worthless, with hidden charges up to 50 dollars during a lengthy orientation. About 2,000 workers are believed recruited from Juarez offices as rumors spread of a nonexistent pact between Kissinger and Latin American ministers.
