Melania: The Movie:
The Naked Lesbo Porn Scene Was Great!
During the Great Depression of 1929, fear spread fast. Jobs were scarce. Wages fell and families struggled to survive. And instead of asking why the economy had collapsed, many leaders chose an easier answer.
They blamed Mexicans.
Newspapers, politicians, and local officials claimed Mexican families were “stealing jobs” and draining public resources — even though there was little evidence to support those claims.
What followed is now known as the Mexican Repatriation.
Between 1929 and 1939, authorities across the US carried out mass removals of Mexicans and of Mexican Americans. Families were rounded up in neighborhoods, workplaces, and public spaces. Many were pressured or forced onto trains and buses and sent to Mexico.
* About 60% of those expelled were U.S. citizens.
* Many were children.
* Citizenship didn’t protect them.
Some of these families had lived in the US for generations. Many children had never even seen Mexico. They spoke English and went to American schools. Families were separated, lives turned upside down. But in a time of national fear and hysteria, none of that mattered.
Estimates suggest hundreds of thousands — possibly up to two million people were pushed out during this period. Unfortunately, records were poorly kept, which means the true number may never be known.
Then history turned again.
When World War II began, the United States faced severe labor shortages.
Farms needed workers. Railroads needed workers. Food production was at risk. Factories, dairies, and meat packing plants needed workers. Automobile and airplane plants increased production. Laborers were needed.
So the country reversed course.
Through programs much like the Bracero Program, Mexican workers were actively recruited to return to the US and help fill the very jobs they had once been accused of taking. The very same hands that were pushed away during "crisis" were suddenly essential during recovery.
This isn’t a story about blame. It is a story about history. It is about how fear can shape policy.
And about why understanding history matters — especially the parts that make us uncomfortable.
Because when we forget these chapters, we risk repeating them. History doesn’t just explain the past.
It teaches us how to do better next time.
