You are asked to be reflective on this writing. Racism and formation and control of labor forces guides the Mexican native and immigrant experience. Think about how the federal government created policy that reflects cycles of change where recruitment and deportation become part of the Mexican experience. Write an essay that includes the cycle of change in immigration policy, addressing the prompts that follow:
“whenever there are economic labor necessities in the United States, the remedy becomes Mexican migration, which stimulates a movement of people to the U.S.; when the labor needs are satisfied, there oftentimes occurs an economic downturn which results in immigration restriction and deportation.”
Between 1910 and 1930, Mexicans were recruited, deported, recruited, and then deported. How do the sources reveal this process of change? In what ways did they experience recruitment? In what ways did they experience deportation? Why is it important to remember this cycle?
