Mexican American
• Immigrants from Mexico
• California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona were
annexed into the Union by conquest or purchase
• After the Mexican American War, Mexico lost 45% of its
national territory and well over 100,000 of its people to
the United States.
• A rise in the number of Mexican migrants to the United
States was precipitated by the Mexican Revolution of
1910. Thousands fled the turmoil of the revolutionary
process to find work in industry, agriculture and
transportation

• A new wave of immigration was fostered by the Second
World War. A shortage of farm workers developed in the
U.S. as people left the land to enter the armed forces or
work in the war effort. The U.S. and Mexico negotiated
the "Bracero" agreement which issued Mexicans
temporary work permits to work in the fields.
