Answer 2

Answer: d. Some children had little choice as they went with their Mexican-born parents to Mexico.

Explanation:

In the 1930s, the Great Depression had some Americans accusing Mexicans and other immigrants of holding jobs meant for U.S. citizens, and local relief agencies excluding foreign-born applicants with the threat of federal immigration law.

Many Mexicans went back to their native country through voluntary repatriation programs led by state and local authorities and aid agencies. However, this process was often coerced, and many of those deported were American citizens, born in the U.S. to first-generation immigrants.
