I would definitely look into the Bracero Program for historical background. It's crucial to Mexican immigration for CA agriculture.

Peer Review by Briana
After going over your work, I'm just going to make a few suggestions on what I think is important as you move forward with you wiki article. I know a lot of your work so far are just ideas here and there, so it might be helpful to begin thinking about the structure of your article. It is important to have a clear structure and to present information in an organized and sensible order. Also, different aspects of the article should each have their own sections, and it should be easy to tell the difference and understand why it has been divided as such. With a topic like immigration and Californian agriculture, there is so much that can be discussed, so maybe think about your structure first so that the information necessary becomes clear and no time is wasted collecting unnecessary evidence.

Second, play close attention to your lead section, or the first section of an article. It should state only the most important information (doesn't have to have too much detail) and it shouldn't repeat what the rest of the article would say. In other words, it such simply give a good overview of what the article is about. Make sure to devote sufficient time to crafting a good lead section as readers will see this first. I'm not sure whether you guys plan on combining immigration and agriculture, so this could be something to think about.

Lastly, think about how to balance out the work. No one aspect of your article should dominate, but this does not mean you have to present a ton of viewpoints and positions! A good article actually minimizes this. So narrow the scope of immigration and agriculture to a point that is comfortable. To figure out whether your work is balanced just think about the length of a section and its importance in the overall structure. If things are off topic or unnecessary, considering cutting them out!

Although this is less of a peer review and more of guidelines/suggestions, I hope they help as you move forward.

I like that you are covering crucial categories of your topic. I know that you are going to add more to this in the future, but just keep in mind that we cannot write about speculations or about things that have not happened yet. I also see that you plan on using data in your article so just a reminder for the future that sources that you use need to be cited. It would also be nice to see more balance in the attention you give each topic (so for example, you might want to talk more about the health issues). I hope this helps you as you continue!

Great, comprehensive outline! I like the breakdown.

-Maybe link to immigration in the US?

-Begin to fill in with content

-Not sure if "General Statistics" is a suitable section header. I would change it to something like "Demographics" or along those lines.

-Make sure you have a lead before you go live

Great job! GAA8423 (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Group,

-Please add a lead section to your article.

-You might want to change the title of the section "General Statistics", to something more specific

-Please remove any editorial notes you have (directly under Working Conditions you have one)

-If you have one source for a paragraph, you don't need to repeatedly site it after every sentence

I like the way you have organized and scaffolded the article. I think the Working Conditions section is great, just remember to leave out any editorial notes since you are live!
