My father was only a baby when his mother, father and two older siblings were deported to Mexico from Arizona in 1933. They luckily found a place to stay in Chihuahua with a friend. They had no choice in returning to Mexico otherwise they would have stayed in the U.S. They returned to Arizona after eight years of living in extreme poverty. They were never offfered land in Mexico. So I tend to disagree with you about Mexicans having a choice about returning. Why would they return to a place were they knew the struggle was harder and jobs were minimal? I’m sure there were Mexicans that went back to Mexico without being accounted for out of fear, so I believe the numbers were much higher than 400,000. Maybe historians could actually search for survivors who actually can tell their stories of what really happened or their families.

There have been ppl who said the government showed up at their homes with guns & loaded them up in vehicles then force deported them

Down playing, that is why it keeps happening today. A lot of anti-Mexican behaviors in the south with the culture from early massacres for land by Texas rangers .The Porvenir Massacre was one of many deadly confrontations that occurred along the Mexican-U.S. border in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Descendants of the victims have fought for recognition and justice, and have found hundreds of pages of documents detailing the massacre. There is a divide between Mexican Americans today and some then that would sell out for their own benefit and in return helps cover up the atrocities that did happen.

My mother is a survivor who will be 97 this year. She was six years old when she and her family were involuntarily shipped by train to Mexico in 1932. She remembers everything that happened to her and her family especially the hunger. There are many survivor families in the US who know what really happened unlike "intellectuals" like this one. It isn't about the statistics she spouts. It's about the human rights violations that were committed and the intergenerational suffering that subsequently occurred when they were removed not deported.

Like the other comment had said, the number of 400k was because those were the ones that were recorded. There were a lot of victims who were thrown across the border illegally. So instead of saying that they were inflated numbers, she should've said that it was recorded to be at least 400,000 when it could've been as much as 2 million

✨🤦🏻‍♀️ Native americans in California WERE MEXICAN AMERICAN INDIGENOUS 🤌🏼💯 literally same ppl same tribes, the border crossed us. Ppl forget that all indigenous ppls on all continents of The Americas & it’s islands off Florida etc are all Amerindian ppls. All indigenous. To think only native Americans are native to America is asinine

Who is this lady? Please let a Mexican decent provide historical context.

1924 Calvin Coolidge passed the Indian citizenship act thousands of Mexican Indians that lived in annexed land became us citizens with rights to vote . Mexico lost 4-5 percent of Mexican Indian

Trumps presidency what's happening in Florida and Mexico telling mexicans they would welcome them is just to close to this story.
