Gang of Eight proposed a new immigration reform
bill that included a path to citizenship, tougher border
enforcement, and increased visas for lesser-skilled workersoperation wetback launched. actually literally insane: military style
tactics were used to remove 1.3 million people from the U.S. though
historians suggest the actual number may be closer to 300,000.
ASSOC W REPATRIATION! (the largest mass deportation in American
history happened during the repatriation)
head of border patrol persuaded president to heighten immigration
enforcement to "deal w the amt of undocumented immigrants"
so interesting you arent taught this when you learn about the
great depressionmexican repatriation: 200,000 mexicans left the U.S. between
nov 1929 and dec 1931. this is by their own will, not by
deportation. this is numerical evidence of how extreme repatriation was9/11 happened: this needs to be indicated in the timeline. it really
had a strong impact on immigration and citizenship laws as well as
security in general—fear-mongering was a useful tactic to reason for
policies to be introducedmigrant children are reported to be kept in cages. This initiates
a new conversation (the border and the American imagination article)according to Dept of Justice, 27% of applications for asylum
were accepted (https://apps.npr.org/borderland/#_/14). I
know nothing about asylum. Nothingthe first govt sponsored fence went up: to keep tick-infested cattle out! was
more fortified after Mexican revolution and WWI.
I think the usage of "govt sponsored" is interesting. Implies that people
may had put up fencing on their accord24,000 unaccompanied minors were picked up in 2012 alone
by border patrol. Typically they were searching for their
relatives in the US.the U.S.-Mexico border was established
following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

been particularly silent on these matters, we will likely learn
more during the debate. (from article emailed to us)texas gains independence from mexico (1836?)27% of CA residents were foreign-born. thats a lot! and only in California. (Why

war on Mexico
(https://www.history.com/topics/19th-century/treaty-of-guadalupe-hidalgo)Kali Uchis releases "Tomorrow" — song that
mainly focuses on looking ahead instead of
dwelling in the past, but also touches on
being a child of immigrant parents. I hadn't
noticed this part of the song until nowIn the Heights (film version) talks about the pursuit of the
American Dream, undocumented immigrants, and
cultural belonging. Brings a perspective to the community
that builds in the face of growing complex policies that work to
drive immigrants out, the social aspects that
create walls that resist immigrants getting a
higher education and much moreIn Isreal, children of migrant workers faced
deportation. Isreal updated their laws after
protests, but there are still children in hiding (Transit, 2014)El Mozote massacre in El Salvador: nearly 1,000 people killed,
533 of those being children. It was the worst massacre
during the Salvadoran civil war. People were hung up on this
for a long time (rightfully so—it was truly gruesome)President Nayib Bukele denied access to military
archives to further investigate the El Mozote massacre,
which is absolutely sickening. Truly horrifyingCrabb's defeat. He was the beginning of
the end of filibustering in northern Mexico
(pg 50, John)"it was only after the United States and Mexico
signed a reciprocal crossing agreement in 1882
that the decades-long war to displace the
Apaches entered its final stages.+ (51, John)
First sign of any sort of "positive unity" between
U.S. and MexicoThe first transborder rail line was completed!
(64, John)
I liked this part of the book; a lot of it felt like petty drama,
with how either side was like "Im closing the borders early!"
"Thats stupid! Well, if you close early, then I'll stop the
trains!" "HEY, DON'T STOP THE TRAINS!!!"wages for mexican and mexican american
miners in Bisbee averaged only $1.25 per day
cpm[ared to $3.50 for native-born whites and
northern and western European immigrants"
(72, JOhn)This is when US and Mexico began negotiating the borders based on rivers.
I think this laid the vague foundation for border lines. (U.S.-Mexican Water
Sharing: Background and Recent Developments article)International Boundary Commission was established: "Manages the
US-Mexico border, including the application of boundary and water
treaties, and settling disputes." Newer version of it to come later!Remember IBC in 1889? Now we have International Boundary and
Water Commission (IBWC)—its US-Mexico Water Treaty signedNegotiations for NAFTA begin ("The North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) was an agreement between the United States,
Canada, and Mexico that eliminated most trade barriers between
the three countries," as said by https://www.federalregister.gov/age

andmexico#:~:text=Established%20in%201889%2C%20the%20In

Mexico, and Canada. Thats a good thing and means NAFTA is
working properly. This increases trade and investments btwn
all 3 countriesTrump re-negotiates NAFTA and its now USMCAA lot of American corporations "dominated mining, ranching,
irrigation, and real estate speculation along the boundary line."
(81, St. John) Its interesting seeing anything about how Americans
would slide into Mexico and just... do business. Live their lives. And
that it was never the other way around (at least not to the extent that
Americans went)"Door of Hope" events canceled—families would briefly
hug through an opened gate at the parkPeríodos
Mexican-American war: essentially happened
bc of boundry/border issues btwn texas and Mexico.
Texas assoc w Mexico runs pretty deep. This war had strong
affects on the creation of new policies/lawsSalvadoran civil war occursMexican revolution. Very intense. A lot happened and there was a lot of
imbalance of power, fighting—super duper intense and cost the country
people's lives, money, stability, etcwartime Passport Control Act required that all aliens obtain
a visa before entering the United states. It caused chaos. Quote:
"nearly all balance, however, of the people living on the Sonora
side of the servant class have been cut down to one day a weel,
both for passport privileges as well as food card." It really cut into some people's livesAt least 2,500 migrants died crossing
the Sonoran Desert (multitude of reasons: ultimately terrible traveling conditions)
