How did Mexicans come to America in the 1900's?

For better opportunities.


When did the Mexicans first come to America?

because they wanted to die and drown ...This looks like a typical answer from a typical moron! The question was WHEN, not WHY. Way to make yourself look less intelligent than the Mexicans!


Why Mexicans come to America?

Firstly because living standards are higher in America; if you do the same job in Mexico and in America, in America you are much more likely to be able to afford to eat well, clothe yourself, buy more goods, entertain yourself etc. America also has better public services and infrastructure eg a hospital is more likely to treat you if you are sick and you aren't likely to live with sewage in the streets. In addition, the same goods or services tend to be cheaper in Mexico than they are in America, so many Mexicans come to America to work and send some of their money back to their family in Mexico or save it for when they return to Mexico, where even a small amount of money by American standards makes a big difference. Also some parts of Mexico are rather violent due to the drug trade, so some Mexicans flee to America because they feel in danger in Mexico.
