Mexican Repatriation in the 1930s

- Due to pressures from the Great Depression, over 1 million Mexicans were forced out of the country and back to Mexico during the 1930s. Of those repatriated, about 60% were U.S.-born American citizens. Several Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans left the U.S. for Mexico with the hope that there they would find not only a refuge from the economic struggles of the Great Depression, but also from the prejudice and discrimination that they had experienced in the U.S. However, most found that Mexico was not the haven they had hoped it would be.
Thanks for making this. My students were not aware of this chapter of American History.
This is not taught in schools
The Native Americans of MEXICO gave us CORN, CHOCOLATE, SQUASH, TOMATOES, CHILI PEPPERS, REFRIED BEANS, and much more!. They first domesticated Corn, 9000 years ago!. When Cortes came to Mexico to conquer it, he found the capital city was larger than the largest cities in Europe, and it had stone buildings and water aqueducts. They had also independently domesticated Cotton, Sunflower Seeds, and other useful crops, and made woven cotton clothing. I am sad to see so many ignorant comments by people who really know very little beyond bellowing whatever racist comments are popular in their sad social set. When I look at the spelling and grammar it is clear that some of these were the ones who sat at the back of the class. Why not better yourself as a human being and get some education? Racism is almost always the result of the loser set looking for an excuse to feel superior. Think about it, people who love corn, chocolate, and chill peppers....
I wish this was taught to me in my schools. I guess I have to teach myself and learn our Latino History.
It's not latino history. It's Mexican American history.
If you get taught this at early age you can become powerful. You can only learn this in college
Don't ever stop learning our heritage. We are Indigenous and I'm proud of that. ✌🏾🇲🇽❤️
Its really sad that this tragic event is ignored and not talked about.
The US since its foundation to present day has always used Mexicans to build this modern country but they never want to give credit to Mexicans, instead they want to use them as scapegoats for their economic problems even though the opposite is true which is that Mexicans have contributed to the US more than Americans know and would ever admit.
LazyBunny unfortunately the focus is on the damage done to the deported and their families. how many businesses and jobs will be lost. schools clsed. everone should see one day without mexicans the mockumentary by alfonso araujo. sanctary cities have understood the social and economic impacts of mass deportarions.
If they don't bother to become citizens, deport them...
wil scott Did your ancestors became legal citizens of America when ya’ll came? 🤔 That must make YOU the anchor baby.
My mom who was born in 1924 along with her sister and two baby brothers are American citizens born in Texas. My grandparents became citizens yet they were sent back to Mexico in the 1930's. My two uncles ages 3 and 18 months died of dysentery. The ordeal broke my grandparents marriage. So much suffering.
What? So the black slaves, Irish and other millions of immigrants that worked hard labor building infrastructures that made America a nation don't count? Look at the pictures of the workers in all the major infractures and factories and you will find mostly Europeans, blacks and no Hispanics. The Mexicans did menial work at the Southwest U.S. that could've of easily been done by bringing in more Chinese. The Asians came to America to work hard and nobody hears them complain! Stop the exaggerations.
Is being 8 years since this video, just want to thank you for such at great info.

Only thing my blood has bee here much longer!!! 💯
I’m reading a book called Esperanza Rising this year in school, this is helpful
lol me too execpt i dont read it
My class as well, however I didn't use this for that project but a spring-off project
My grandpa was cutting lettuce, and also wrestled in the Lucha Libre Cd. Juarez/ El Paso, Texas.
The Raza will rise to the top... my grandfather and uncle are some of them.my grandfather died in Mexico and he was a Mexican American born
Basically deported a bunch of native Americans smdh..
What's wrong with native Americans and Mexicans you racist fuck
You’ll be deported 😎
Music is too loud.
In 1910 my dads dad or I should say my grandpa 👴 was already living in California. In gilroy California.
Los Angeles Ca Californio garlic town
My own Mexican family goes back to 1875 in Texas (could be further back, but I am working on it). We've been here longer than most gringos including DJT.
Mine too. My grandma said her parents were living in Ca. since she was a little girl I have documents census to prove it. Everyone believes all Mexicans hopped the border but for some the border hopped over us.
@@laureng3889 My great grandfather was born in San Antonio Texas in 1870 and my great grandmother was born there as well. 1882. We are the Southwest natives. Mexica!
My great grandmother was born in Los Angeles in 1897. She was of Mexican descent but, I never heard any of my family say they were Mexican. Til this day all my uncles, aunts, cousins & nephews & their kids don't claim to be Mexican. Before the 90's Mexican Americans were a lot more modern & called themselves Americans. They were skaters, rockers, greasers, break dancers even surfers. Some time in the 90's it seemed like our own people started shaming us calling us coconuts, race traitors, we want to be white. even in certain occupations they would try to put us down. I think this is one of the reasons why a lot of our people haven't prospered. In the inner cities it's still cool to be a cholo, a lowrider, drug dealer or, do tattoos & still dress in a 80's fashion.
We never learned about this in public school. Neither about the starvation of the Ukranian people during Stalin's reign.
I am using this video in my public school summer school class.
A cautionary tale.
Mexican American families forever keep close and live in faith to which overcomes all hardships and heartbreak..that living and working Fields of harvest our love and artistry keeps alive our time in any nation that accepts God's truth for his people within the Holy Trinity ...Father Son and Holy Spirit ..Amen.
"....didn't provide a solution for Mexicans or "real Americans"?!!! Did I hear that right?
Yeah Mexicans are the real Americans by bloodline.
It's true my grandfather was 12 when he arrived in Mexico,they call him pochito
They called them that out of jealousy. Mexican people don't understand that people of Mexican decent in the US at that time were told to never speak Spanish in school ,or in public. Instead of understanding the reason for not speaking fluent Spanish, the people in Mexico made fun of their own! 🤯
What soundtrack is used in this video? Cuase that is the only thing I got from this video.
Thx this is for a prezi ;)
They were considered foreigners because they were/ are. To this day we are seen as foreigners in Mexico.
Yo, shout out my guy Ernest, he the GOAT

You are too fast in speaking (as if you are reading a book) and the music is not allowing to listen to what ever you spoke in 4.18. min.
I appreciate your feedback Harsh! Hopefully you learned something from this video.

VÍVAAA LA RAZA!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 (never trust The Gringo)
Something that’s sorely needed in the 21st century-

When will the Mexicans learn that "Mexican: is not a race? SMFH
The "Mexicans" that come to the U.S. have turned their backs on and have abandoned their nation, Mexico. Why don''t they really show some pride in their "nationality", by staying in their own nation, and make it better? They are really saying "my nationality sucks, and I want to of the U.S. Nationality now". See how that works? In the U.S., we call people that turn their backs on this country, traitors.
I see that don't apply to Europeans most of those countries are not that great. no natural resources. no bigger a small US state. Well they do have pale skin and name changing so fit right IN. WWII many fought against their home land THAT WAS VERY CUTE
Make Mexico great.
If it doesn't apply to you, why worry?
We dont care about that
The majority of Mexican Americans do not speak English.
What do you mean?
@@jacobmendoza6050 It's 4:16 in the morning Pacific Time. But I will eventually answer it.
Before I begin, I stand by my statement. And if I have to make a topic or subject statement or some sort of sound bite, I will never use adverbs like always, never, simply or well. It just takes the juice away and render it bland or clunky. Even though I believe it, it doesn’t mean that people who know English and Spanish well are an elite group of people. Most of them are average but are aspirational people who know English for reasons that are sufficient.
As for English acquisition is concern, one of the problems lies is in the ESL program. To me, it is no different than general welfare, whether it is for poor Americans or newly arrived immigrants. Username “Jacob Mendoza” there are plenty of parameters, and I am not going to mention them all since it would be confusing to remember. However, if you combine high immigration, an area that is a free society, high monoculturalism, schools that are underfunded, and a language program that is politicized, I don’t think (and I hope many readers will agree) that many Hispanic students are not properly ready to be entrusted into an “English speaking world” when you think about it. Why? because the program constantly ends in mixed results. There are students who just go through the motions of many failing school- schools who don’t tell the students how English is influential to the U.S., and at the end have marginal skills of English. To them, opportunities for Spanish abound in the States and they already made up their mind. Nevertheless, they can do some English. They can use the language for informal situations like customer service and impromptu interpreters for parents. Yet, overall, even these kids think their knowledge of English is limited and there are tasks in life they are not ready in which I will mention later. For others, knowing English well means success in America. They are highly self-motivated and are willing to apply themselves to get there. Despite the shortcomings of ESL, they plough on through respectively. When the Hispanic students speak English, they speak it with a high degree of spontaneity and with comprehension that is at least in parity with average native speakers of English. These students are prepared to be thrusted into the English-speaking world. These people are more likely to be cops, firefighters, Marines, civil servants, legal officers, etc. Thus, there is a portion percentage of them. For the others, they just enter the full-time work force when they turn eighteen or leave school. Not surprisingly, they have a high degree of exposure to Spanish-speaking people be it Spanish-speaking co-employees or customers and have seldom exposure to English speakers. So, every time the local news people speak in praise about one Mexican American family for being the “first in their family to graduate” as if school was a foreign concept to them, three, four, or five of them enter the work force and no news report it because that is not a news story at all. So simply put it, Mexican American leave much to be desired because of an uneven record of knowing English. Nonetheless, I am very skeptical that Mexican Americans would ever become a large member of the English-speaking world in my lifetime, and I am over thirty. There is no way because I was born and raised in the Los Angeles Area my whole life and to this day, I have never met any Mexican-American person who is a native-English speaker or learn Spanish later in life; never in the flesh. And yes, that includes the grandchildren of immigrants. To dovetail this even further, calling Mexican Americans a bilingual is premature statement by a wide margin. But even mentioned it is welcomed by university ethnic studies who yearn for a day when English is no longer the predominant language. Think about it. Jacob Mendoza, we live in the Information Age and an era in which Spanish is slowing coming into prominence even though the native speakers of English are still monolingual since the school had no resources and the Hispanic students sneer at them for being as such. They have the most incentive, not just because the market for Hispanic people is high but to show some brethren to the other twenty Spanish-speaking countries on earth.
Well, as I mentioned before this is my take. Let me hear yours. I knowingly understand that vicious disagreements will come my way, but I am prepared. I know writing this statement will cause a stir in the Hispanic community, but nobody can complain I was not ready for it.
@@SuperRip7 It's an interesting take. But it is wrong. If the kid is born in the U.S and goes to school they quickly assimilate and learn English. So when you say "Mexican-Americans" I'm going to assume you mean people of Mexican heritage born and raised in the U.S. The US Census data also supports that the longer Mexican Americans are in the US the quicker they forget Spanish and they don't teach the following generation the language either. Amongst the community they are referred to as "no sabo kids". Mexican kids that don't no Spanish. Mexicans have been here for a long time. The ones who don't know English are usually immigrants and even then they learn enough to get by. Your anecdotal evidence of living in LA and never meeting a Mexican that speaks English can't really be taken seriously in a debate.
If we were to tax that money sent home to Mexico , we could build the wall in a year.
Fuck your shitty little wall, racist bitch. #Impeach45
Or, we could not. I like that idea better, I think.
