Best Answer

From 1929-1939 Mexicans and Mexican Americans [citizens of the U.S.] were deported. According to the book, Decade of Betrayal, about 2 million Mexican and Mexican-Americans were deported. This represented 1/3 of the Mexican population in the US during the period of 1929-1939. Of the 2 million deported, it has been estimated that 60-75% were US citizens and US legal residents.

Why were thousands of Mexicans in the US sent back to Mexico in the 1930?

Racism. The Mexican Repatriation is a dark chapter in American history referring to 2 million people of Mexican ancestry being forcibly expelled from the United States. It is stated that 1.2 million of those were American citizens.The rationale was that due to the Great Depression, the easiest way of saving welfare money was to free jobs for "real Americans". These deportations occurred without due process, and many people were expelled just because of the color of their skin.
