Mexican-American men were eligible to enlist or be drafted into the US Military, and thousands were, where they served at least as well as any other ethnic group. Women found new opportunities for employment beyond agricultural labor, in the rapidly expanding defense industry. The US began a "bracero" ("strong arms") program to encourage Mexican nationals to come to the US as guest agricultural workers.
Mexican Americans made huge contributions to the war effort. In fact, many young Mexican Americans served in the infantry, as well as in the Navy, Air Force and Marines. Mexican Americans also participated in pro-U.S. rallied back home, and worked in armament factories in the Southwest and California.
