      @chevyvel6646 : I have a couple of fond memories of living in Brownsville, Texas with my parents and two siblings as a 3 1/2 year old boy in 1951. My father had a milk and cheese delivery truck/business at that time. Another was the day my petite mother whacked a giant tarantula in the bathroom with a broom. Hollywood made a movie about a giant atomic tarantula a few years later but they never mentioned my mother. No royalties,
      I used to ride my tricycle that had a back open trunk on the sidewalk in front of our white clapboard house. I would fill the trunk with rocks and sticks to defend the neighborhood against the bad guys hiding behind a row of trees in a large open lot next to our house. Little did I know that the "bad guys" might actually be my neighbors.
      Never heard of Corky Gonzalez. I'll have to look him up and read his work. Thanks for sharing. God Bless

    My Nana was 8 when she experienced this. She lost her mother 4 years before this and her father had to move to Mexico with 5 children. Along with his parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews. Even though most were born in the U.S to immigrant parents.l, they were shipped on buses & trains. My Nana talked about having a hard life in Mexico. She didn't even know Spanish. She returned to the U.S. by the age of 24. She is the strongest woman I've ever met. She lived to be 96 years old. I never knew about this until I read her obituary, she never liked to speak about the hard times she faced. I thank God for her prayers, her Faith & all of her kisses & long hugs. She was always the last one to let us go. She is missed and incredibly loved.

The teacher explained that America had this history of purposefully tempting Mexicans with us citizenship if they helped during times of Great War, world war 1 and 2, and when all was done they sort of backstabbed them. The Three reasons why I believe some teachers, in high school, don’t talk about these things is because ether 1. They don’t really want to talk about America’s ugly past and want to keep Americas image somewhat clean 2. They don’t really care and are just teach the bare minimum or 3. They forgot.

    With elections coming in November of 2024 it's important that people should take the time and research recent history of our country. This episode happened in 1929 during the Depression in the United States, and in fact around the world. More than 2 million people of Mexican ancestry were rounded up and given a one way ticket to Mexico, their "country of origin," as the government claimed. Many of those persons whose ancestors were original Californians before the United States took over the land from Mexico were deported. The government cry was "as long as they look like Mexicans."
    Donald Trump has said that he will roundup people to be deported, saying illegals, but we know very well how he changes from one day to another. During the 1860's thousands of Chinese workers were brought to the U.S. to laid the railroad connecting the West Coast with the East, after completion was done, the Chinese were told to return to their home. In those days navigation took months to cross the oceans and the Chinese didn't even had the money to return to their homes. Many of them started looking for a place to stay and that is when they crossed the border into Baja California and settled in the town of Mexicali, Mexico along with the rest of Mexican settlers. Today their descendants still live there and many became businessman.
    During WWII the Japanese were also victims when they were rounded to live in concentration camps in California and other parts of the country. In short I want people to educate themselves thru history. I will repeat the words of the actual President of Mexico: "If we don't our history, we will never know were are we going." I believe that, and that's why is very important to know what passed in the past in order to avoid the mistake of not acting right away. I had in the past a dear German friend of mine that told me that many people in Germany dismissed as rhetoric the speeches of Hitler, only to become a brutal reality.

    There's a reason this American history isn't taught in most US public schools. And, according to Ron Desantis and those who agree with him, they believe that teaching this American history in public school will cause white students to feel uncomfortable. This is why Critical Race Theory is banned. At least racists aren't telling Mexican Americans to "get over it". I hope this channel continues to grow and keep uncovering America's hidden history.

He told me of the mass deportations during the 30's. Jake told me that's when all the hidden earth homes were built between natural gullies, which whould shield their foot prints well. They walked up to the road & emerged from seemingly nowhere, ready to work. Their hiddend home where nice! Jake was like Santa to their kids. He bought all their grocieries, and they could pick things from a Sears catellogue. He told me they we mostly born there, but never leave the ranch. They lead happy simple lives still to this day. That was only back in the early 1980's when Jake told me those things. He died a few years later on that same ranch, doing what he loved most, cowboying.

    The things they don't teach in school. I feel like we covered so much history about the American Revolution, Civil War, WWII, a little bit of Vietnam, and a few things here and there. But this was never mentioned during my 12 years of education. It took a Chicano Literature class on my last semester of my BA degree for me to learn about this! Im so angry at not only what took place but at the fact that it took me so long to learn about it. I read the book in about 1 week and did a presentation on it for my class. Im happy to know that 25 students in that class now know about it and hopefully they'll tell others.

    My grandparents were deported during this time, my grandfather worked for the Santa Fe railroad, and owned property in San Bernardino. He lost everything because he was deported by force after living in California for over 30 years. My mother was born in California, but because she was just a child, I was born in Mexico, when my mother told me this story, it bound my blood to think she and my family went through this. I teach my children on the injustices that are still present, especially now that Trump has let loose the racists whites that are anti immigrant, even though the Hispanic community has contributed to the building of this nation.

Some how they survived and thrived and started making their way back to California in the decades of the fourties and the fifties my mother met my father in Mexico and stayed to be with him, times were hard and she decided to help out by working in Cali. while he stayed in Mexicali it was very comune for people to do that but there was something else but that's no longer done is women would have their babies in Mexico even though they could've easily given birth here in the USA, and so I was born in Mexico , i am proud to have served in the US Army but I'm also proud to be Mexican

Not to mention how many of another indian nation (out of hundreds of indian nations) did that indian group scalp and possibly genocide to momentarily claim the one they lived in? WHICH indian group are u talking about? Or are red people just red people? Do you view Japanese killing millions of Chinese as just yellow people killing each other, nothing more? And which blood-soaked microregion of the continent did that tribe occupy? And I'm sure you would much prefer that every nation on the whole continent had lived a wild, starvation, live until 22 years old type of life, including yourself? And that that's the country that should have existed instead of America? And the type of shithole that you wish would replace America now? LOL get a life. Why do u think those indian nations disappeared so fast? It's because their people were RUNNING to ditch their difficult lives and live in America (the jurisdiction, roads, and technology on which americans created their own way of life), marrying white women, and mixing with whites so fast that their genes dwindled down to about 2 percent in the Americans even that contain their genes at all (myself included), the vast majority of their nations disappearing for good.

During his four-year presidency, roughly 121,000 persons were officially deported or induced to leave through threat of deportation, according to our analysis of official statistics".

Mexico had outlawed slavery years before and forbade the slavers like Houston from exploiting their slaves and he wouldn't have it so proposed the rebellion to the US as a way to expand and to the slave owners to extend their slaves owning lands. This historical moment lead to the US Civil War.

    Few people knows that California, Nevada, Utah, Nuevo México, mayor parts of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming were Mexican territory before 1848.
    Territory lost as a result of an invasion and war.

    Chinese were deported back to China under the Chinese exclusion act in the 19th centuary. What is interesting to say the least, the Chrokees were removed from their land by military force. The military was also used to remove the Japanese and placed them in interment camps. Trump is going to order the military to do the same. In the 1950"s both Mexicans and Filipinos were deported during the Eisenhower administration. Many of them fought in the II WW and many veterans of the iraq and Afganistan wars were also deported to Mexico. Trump has said even citizens will be affected by his massive deportation program. Then why enlist in the military?

      I don't believe it is stupid to group together with people that have similar ideas of how to run the country. I think that would be wise. Now I am a registered independent. I have voted Republican probably 99% of my life but I am loyal to no one but my family and Friends. If someone breaks into my house I don't ask what political party they are part of.
      It does blow my mind that the Democrat Party the party of slavery KKK Jim Crow Trail of Tears Japanese internment and probably a ton of other atrocities has been revamped. How does the party of cancel culture explain this? They want you in the police because it started as slave catching but it can't change. Nothing can be redeemed once it has been tainted yet the Democrat Party stands as a reminder of their hypocrisy. What do you think

    After reading some of the comments, I'm a bit perplexed as to why so many don't understand why so many Hispanic/Latino American men voted for Trump. Keep in mind that mass unvetted migration and the economy deeply affect the Latino American Middle, Lower Middle, and Working Classes just like it does for every other racial or ethnic American group. Though migrants enter the United States from everywhere, the vast majority come from Central or South American countries. Most are blending into existing Latino-American-dominated cities and neighborhoods. That means job and resource competition and safety concerns. If you're an American father who lives in a predominately Latino American city or neighborhood and you have young sons and daughters, your children's safety is at risk... There have been many young Latino American girls who have been brutally assaulted and unalived by unvetted men coming into this country. There are gang members coming into this country who will, if they haven't already, start targeting Latino American tween and teen boys for gang recruitment or mistaken identity. There's a lot at stake here. What happened in the 1930s was tragic and should NEVER have happened. That said, this isn't 1930, and there are serious issues that need to be addressed regarding mass unvetted immigration and how it impacts this country and the Americans in it.
