    The whole Mexican problem came up from the boom of the citrus industry in California and because of the civil unrest in Mexico. Southern California eventually segregated agrarian society based on the citrus industry. Mexican American labor eventually became the same as African American labor with cotton. This segregation stayed until World War II when a group of common workers with an uncommon American spirit decided to fight against this unjust system. They fought not for their rights but for their children’s non-segregated and equal lives since many of these workers were parents.…

    They often sought to live in communities established by precious settlers from their homelands. These ethnic communities strongly reflected the culture of the homeland. They isolated themselves from others because of the Whites’ threaten. Gradually, native-born American formed the anti-foreign sentiment during the first WWI and lasted this feeling after the WWI especially to Russian on account of the red scare. American feared these immigrants might hold radical political ideas and spread these ideas to the United States. In consequence, they established Emergency Quota Act of 1921 also known as Immigration Restriction Act of 1921 which included overall maximum of 357,000 immigrants per year and effectively limited the number of people who come to the United States. One important feature from the passing law is quota which imposed on immigrants representing certain ethnic groups or nations impacted immigrants for a long time. These immigration restrictions successfully stimulated the growth of American economy and inclined the rate of…

    *Nevertheless, the number of repatriates was minuscule compared to those who returned to Mexico during the Great Depression. With the deterioration of the United States economy after 1929, between 400,000 and 500,000 Mexicans and their American-born children returned to Mexico. More than half of these departed from Texas. (The term Mexican is used in this article to refer to all Mexican-heritage repatriates, although a significant number of them were Mexican Americans since they had been born in Texas. For Mexican Americans, the term repatriate is actually inaccurate, for one cannot be repatriated to a foreign country.) Depression-era Mexican repatriation from Texas began in 1929, gained momentum in 1930, and peaked in 1931. In the last quarter of 1931 repatriation reached massive proportions; the roads leading to the Texas-Mexico border became congested with returning repatriates. Mexican border towns were also crowded as thousands of returning Mexicans awaited transportation to the interior of Mexico. The number of repatriates declined in 1932 and again in 1933. During the middle years of the depression - 1934 to 1938 - only occasional…

    But the most negatively influential of this type of discrimination is that of schooling. During the early 1900s Mexican American children were discriminated by Caucasians. Mexican American children were made to go to a separate school. “…school segregation of /Chicano students in public elementary and secondary schools in California has its origins in racial ideologies of Anglo-Saxon superiority…” . Caucasians justified this institutional discrimination by calming that Mexican American children were not well versed in English and this was a hindrance to Caucasian children. The school Mexican Americans children were sent to had a “dumbed” down curriculum so that in the future the Mexican American children would provide a cheap source of…
