      However, voluntary repatriation was far more common than formal deportation and federal officials were minimally involved.[5] Some of the repatriates hoped that they could escape the economic crisis of the Great Depression.[9] The government formally deported at least 82,000 people,[10] with the vast majority occurring between 1930 and 1933.[5][11] The Mexican government also encouraged repatriation with the promise of free land.[8][12]: 185–186

      This makes it seem like many of them wanted out of the US already, and Mexico was more than willing to receive them.

      Edit: The page also says that people were blaming Mexicans and making them the scapegoat for the reason why they were dealing with the great recession. It seems that many were already wanting to move to Mexico due to the recession coupled with the promise of free land. There were still a lot who were deported forcefully against their will.

        Reading the source article for that one is wild. Yes, many more were not “deported” but were instead “repatriated” but it is well documented that they were coerced and threatened into leaving.

              Mexicans were often among the first to be laid off after the crash of 1929. When combined with endemic harassment, many sought to return to Mexico.

              They were run out of town by racist shitheads. They didn’t have much of a choice.

          Some scholars contend that the unprecedented number of deportations between 1929 and 1933 were part of a policy by the administration of Herbert Hoover who had scapegoated Mexicans for the Great Depression and instituted stricter immigration policies with the stated intent of freeing up jobs for Americans.

          Who was the president when the great depression started?

          What was their party affiliation, more importantly did they focus on laissez-faire capitalism? That is, did they believe in reducing regulation for the free market?

          A mere 10 seconds of recalling history irrevocably damns the low quality conservatives.

            It’s very odd how little Harding and Coolidge’s corruption immediately leading up the the Great Depression is almost never discussed at all.

              It was, then as now, a series of bad choices in terms of reducing regulation and anti-worker decisions. We are in danger of echoing those times.

              Hoover certainly did his part to make the situation worse though, and quickly.

    If you are not obviously white (a la the aforementioned Family Guy color chart), and even if you are but live in a multiethnic area, do yourself a favor and get a passport. Carry it with you whenever you leave your residence.

              Firstly, it’s not misinformation. If you just look at the comments, there are people backing it up with links.

              Secondly, this is the sidebar with the rules. I would like you to quote me the misinformation rule please:
