Question

Suppose you were a lawyer who had to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court either for or against the Mexican Repatriation program. Write a short argument for either side.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mexican migration increased during the 1910s and 1920s, pulled by U.S. needs for workers, particularly with the departures of Chinese and Japanese agricultural laborers, and pushed by the Mexican revolution and other upheavals. Demand for their labor dropped sharply with the onset of the Great Depression.
