Storyboard Text

  • 1910-1930: Mexico becomes a more unsafe place to live in as poverty increases after the Mexican Revolution. Many Mexicans immigrate cross the border to the US.
  • Mexican immigrants to the US excel at the jobs they work in agriculture and expand the industry.
  • You stole my job!
  • I am a U.S. citizen now and have earned/worked at this job fairly. 
  • What are we going to do now?! We have to prioritize the economy and well-being of our citizens!
  • The Great Depression plagues the US, and results in mass job losses for both Mexican-Americans and US Citizens alike.
  • Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are pushed by a struggling population to draft a policy that mass deports Mexican immigrants, including US born people of Mexican ancestry.
  • The House and Senate have passed a bill...
  • The US severely restricts immigration though out the rest of the 1930s and into the 1940s up to WW2. An anti-Mexico sentiment breeds, and many Americans form racist biases against our southern neighbors.
  • Look! Americans have more jobs and our nation/economy is rebuilding!
  • Well- not exactly. We may be coming back and strengthening, but we are have really shorted immigration, and are neglecting our role on the global stage.
  • World War II: The US seeks inexpensive labor to aid wartime production. Harsh immigration restrictions are lifted. 
  • Immigration policy with our southern neighbors is essentially a cycle, and is demonstrated throughout now, and history. US legislation has a tendency of adjusting immigration stances to when it most benefits us, rather than just consistently treating Mexican immigrants the same.
