The White supremacist American Government was treating Mexican Americans as second-class citizens. Moreover, Mexican Americans faced threats of deportation, and they formed organizations and civil right groups to lobby for their rights as legitimate American citizens. The most popular organization that exerts considerable influence to date is the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) that was founded in 1959.

Mexico was in the middle of its Mexican Revolution (1910-1921), so even if news of lynchings and flagrant violations of Mexican-Americans' human rights occurred in the neighboring United States, the Mexican Government had more pressing matters to worry about.

The Spanish name for the Mexican American political movement is "Movimiento Chicano." This movement emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, advocating for civil rights, social justice, and cultural pride among Mexican Americans. It sought to address issues such as discrimination, labor rights, and educational equality. The Chicano movement played a significant role in shaping the political landscape for Mexican Americans in the United States.
Placing the burden of proof for land ownership on Mexican Americans was contrary to U.S. legal practice because it reversed the foundational principle that the claimant must prove their case rather than the accused. Traditionally, in U.S. law, property rights are presumed to be valid until proven otherwise, meaning that established ownership should not require individuals to prove their rights continuously. This practice unfairly disadvantaged Mexican Americans, undermining their legal rights and reinforcing systemic inequalities following the U.S.-Mexican War and subsequent land dispossessions.
