The result of the Mexican-American War allowed unrestricted settlement of Anglo settlers over all lands which used to belong to Mexico. Of special importance were California and Texas. This east-west Immigration increased after the California Gold Rush of 1848, even before the Mexican-American War was over.

Most Mexican-Americans who were absorbed into the population after the war were sacked from their properties by Anglo settlers, as the court system relied on English speaking authorities -- and most Mexican settlers were plain peasants without the means to hire an English-speaking lawyer. The less fortunate were lynched by Anglo-speaking mobs.

How has the proximity of Mexico to the US affected the relations of Mexican Americans with both their old and their new countries?

As Abraham Quintanilla (personified by Edward James Olmos) eloquently said in the film Selena (1997): We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting!Mexican-Americans are the descendants of Mexican people emigrating from Mexico into the United States for better opportunities and quality of life. This puts them at odds against fellow Americans, who often stereotype them as being Mexico's rejects "stealing" their jobs. As for Mexicans, most of them think of Mexican-Americans as "Uncultured Pochos who think they are better because they were born in America".The reality is that stereotypes, racism and xenophobia from both sides of the border play a major role in the Mexican-American conscience.
