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.

The most important issue of Mexico City is its traffic, which can become atrocious. For example, important business districts like Santa Fe are just 16 kilometers (10 miles) away from downtown. To reach them, it will probably take you 60 to 90 minutes during rush hour. During rainy season, on Fridays and during month's end, it can take up to 2 hours.
A secondary, although legendary issue is that of crime. Mexico City is no more dangerous than other large cities, but you should be aware of what destinations are not advisable to visit, such as Tepito or Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl. Even then, you should be aware of your surroundings.
