The United States experienced major waves of Immigrants during the War time and the 1800’s and early 1900’s. 25,000 Asian Immigrants went to California for a gold rush and migrated there by the 1850’s. A lot of Immigration had to do with slaves and such. During the 1890’s Central, and Eastern Europe came to America, so did the Italians and Jews. The start of Immigration was different from today’s time. Back then people who migrated to the United States was easy.

Hispanics have been immigrating to America since the beginning of the Spanish Colonial era. Up until the 1920’s Mexican Americans have boomed in rural places in america. The 1920’s was meeting the beginning of a renaissance, a better promised life for both native americans as well as immigrants. Businesses were booming, wages were higher, and the industry was creating a bright future for America. However, Mexican Americans continued to face hardships as well as few successes leading up to the 1920’s. Whether these were Native born Americans with a Hispanic background or newly immigrated Mexicans, Mexican Americans faced the hardship of poverty, discrimination, segregation, and struggles during the 1920’s.

Mexicans immigrated to the United States back in the 1800's (Stanford, 2006). During 1848 the United States took over a part of Mexico which is now the Southwest (Stanford, 2006). Mexicans living in these areas were Mexican citizens before the acquisition. The United States even went into agreements with Mexico to have Mexicans work in the United States. Mexicans were treated with cruelty, while working the agriculture fields for years. The United States made several agreements with Mexico to have the Mexicans come work in the United States while American soldiers were fighting in the world wars. The labor shortage that the United States went through was reason enough to have Mexicans migrate to the United States as laborers. The United

The first major wave of Hispanic migration to the United States was in 1848, which was a result from the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The newly acquired lands of the United States hosted a population of about 75,000-100,000 and the U.S. Government offered blanket naturalization to the former Mexican Citizens. After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexican immigration to the U.S. “average[d] 3,000-5,000” persons per decade, with the exception of the California Gold Rush, where around 10,000 Mexican miners migrated to California, all totaling to about 100,000 Mexicans in the U.S. by the end of the 1900 (Gutierrez). However, “historical migration statistics for this period are inaccurate because of inconsistent enumeration techniques, changing methods of ethnic and racial classification in the U.S., and the constant movement of uncounted thousands of

Children are taught at a young age learning the three branches of the United States and how well they work however Mexico’s government is very similar to the US. Mexico’s government is a lot more developed than you might think; it has a good structure with three branches also called Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.

Mexico is a country where the economy has been low for years, and the violence has been high causing their people to seek jobs, and safety elsewhere. Immigration from Mexico to the United States has always taken place. Mexicans cross the border, either legally or illegally, in search of the American dream. However, since the war against the drug cartels started, back in the year 2000 or so, job opportunities in Mexico keep decreasing, and families struggle to bring food to their tables.

In 1846 the united States went to war with mexico, was this justified or unconstitutional?

“The most dramatic event in the history of relations between Mexico and the United States took place a century and a half ago,” wrote Mexican historian Jesus Velasco-Marquez. Thousands of Mexicans and Americans died. HAlf of Mexico was taken by the United States. The U.S was not justified to go to war with Mexico because of spread of slavery, cultural imperialism, and disputed territory.

The United States went to war with Mexico in 1846 after the two countries disputed over its borders along the Nueces and Rio Grande River. The war resulted in the annexation of Texas and Mexico's other territories by the U.S. while killing/sacrificing thousands of lives on each side. The United States was not justified to start this war against Mexico. The United States did not have proper justification to respond with violence against the Mexican government and threaten them by the annexation of Texas, nor did they have the right to steal their land and disrespect the Mexican ordinance of freedom. The war with Mexico was also a product of the United States’ belief of manifest destiny, which hypnotized the whole nation to believe this idea

In the 1930s, the start of the Great Depression greatly affected the migration of Mexican to the U.S. because of the lack of jobs, discrimination, and fear of deportation.

Mexicantown is a neighborhood in Detroit with a rich history and with many great things happening in the present as well. The EPIC program is one of the great programs that helps the youth in the community prepare for the next step. Without programs like this, the burden of being a first generation student in college is greater and students may feel like they dont have the academic, emotional, and social support that they need during high school and the transition to college. It is a part of a greater organization that helps the community in many ways, is in a neighborhood that is incredible diversity with many things to do, but it also has a few issues within the program’s structure and internal issues amongst the students as well.

[Tension arose between the United States and Mexico when the United States decided to annex Texas, but the two countries couldn’t come to an agreement about where the border was. When sixteen American soldiers were patrolling along the north of the Rio Grande River, Mexicans shot every one of them dead, thus making the United States declare war on Mexico.] The U.S. was not justified in going to war with Mexico.*One reason is that the shooting of the U.S. troops occurred on disputed territory, so Mexico believed that the United States was invading their land.* [Doc C is an informative article about Mexico’s viewpoint of the war, written by Jesus Velasco-Marquez in 2006.] Doc C states,

Mexico is bordered by the United States on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south. It is characterized by an extraordinary diversity in topography and climate and is crossed by two major mountain chains, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. The high central plateau between these two mountain ranges historically funneled most of the human population toward the center of this region. Mexico features volcanic peaks, snow-capped mountains, tropical rain forests, and internationally famous beaches. Mexico City is an enormous metropolitan area and dominates the rest of the country's culture, economy, and politics. Nearly
