Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Mexican Repatriation Program

The Mexican Repatriation Program was a program that consisted of the deportation of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. It lasted between 1929 and 1936. The book “Decade of Betrayal: Mexican Repatriation in the 1930s” estimates that more than 30% of the deported people were US citizens. The estimation is that over a million people were deported. They named the act “repatriation” because it was said at that time that people were coming back to their country.
