Answer: To reduce competition for jobs
Explanation:
The repatriation was part of several actions aligned with the prevailing anti-Mexican idea that claimed that the solution to the growing unemployment of the US population caused by the Great Depression was to leave non-Americans out of the job competition.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter b: went through numerous boom-and-bust cycles.
Explanation:
Throughout the XVII and XVIII centuries the tobacco economy of the Chesapeake region experienced continuing cycles of prosperity and depression, the <em>“boom-and-bust”</em>. Tobacco at first dominated the economy, and in order to produce this commodity Virginia adopted slave labor; by 1700, the state was importing huge numbers of slaves to provide the labor required to plant and harvest the tobacco leaves, this way the plantations owners were able to increase their fortune by selling it to other countries. For long tobacco was a very used source of income; however this practice led to soil depletion, the removal of nutrients due to improper extractive practices. As a result the production dropped and the state suffered economically. The war also contributed to eliminate most of Virginia’s trading fleet, for example.
Answer:
Wage and price controls were initiated by the U.S. government in 1942, in order to help win World War II (1939–1945), and maintain the general quality of life on the home front. The mission of the OPA was to prevent profiteering and inflation as durable goods became scarcer in the United States because of the war.
During World War II, price controls were used in an attempt to control wartime inflation. The Franklin Roosevelt Administration instituted the OPA (Office of Price Administration). That agency was rather unpopular with business interests and was phased out as quickly as possible after peace had been restored.
Price controls can be both good and bad. They help make certain goods and services, such as food and housing, more affordable and within reach of consumers. They can also help corporations by eliminating monopolies and opening up the market to more competition.
