It became the reason of one of the most shameful chapters in American history, when approximately 2 million Mexican-Americans were forcibly expatriated between 1929 and 1936, without due process. Never mind that 1.2 million of them were actual American citizens, and their civil, human and constitutional rights were violated. Some families were so desperate, the Mexican government had to implement a repatriation program which would help only 150,000 people to resettle into Mexico.

Were some Mexican Americans deported during the Great Depression?

Yes, during the Great Depression, many Mexican Americans faced deportation as part of broader efforts to reduce unemployment and social services costs. The U.S. government, under pressure to provide jobs for American citizens, targeted Mexican and Mexican American communities, leading to the repatriation of an estimated 400,000 to 2 million individuals, many of whom were U.S. citizens. This period was marked by widespread discrimination and a harsh economic climate that disproportionately affected these communities.
