Mexicans had been working in the United States since 1848, when most of the Mexican territories were "acquired" after the Mexican Cession. It wasn't until the Immigration act of 1924 that the United States enforced its borders and made it illegal to work in the U.S. without special permits. Ever since, many people have sought to work in the U.S. without severing their ties to Mexico.
