Mexicans starting coming to America in substancial numbers during the two World Wars. We needed them to help us grow crops here while all our men were off fighting. The Mexican Government and the USG even cooperated during WW2 to bring Mexican field hands here under the Bracero program. These Mexicans were essentially slaves. After the invention of more mechanized agricultural equipment like a cotton picker and the return of our men, America did not need as many slaves. But these field hands still come to America because our stuff is sick and Mexico is a politically corrupt hole.

On a side note, feminists also took power while men were off fighting. See Rosie the Riveter
