This land included parts of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Colorado. The Mexicans living in that area were given the choice to become U.S. citizens. Almost 80,000 Mexicans joined the U.S.(Benson). This was more of a pull factor because Mexicans had the opportunity to enter the country. ]]> 2018-03-09 19:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/240332321 sripley20191 https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242170330 Over time, the United States has treated Mexican Immigration extremely differently. Sometimes the U.S. welcomed Mexicans into the country for labor purposes, other times there were strong quotas limiting Mexican Immigration. The United States creates these laws based on what they need at the time as a country. ]]> 2018-03-15 02:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242170330 sripley20191 https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242170886 In 1910, Mexico faced major economic and political problems inside its country. A massive amount of Mexican Immigration occurred due to hardship in the country, especially from impoverished rural areas. This was a push factor because Mexicans felt that they needed to exit from their country. The United States government forced Mexicans out after some time and placed stricter laws limiting immigration in response. ]]> 2018-03-15 02:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242170886 sripley20191 https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242171734 During World War One, the U.S. suffered massive amounts of labor shortages.

This started the Bracero Program, which the United States offered to Mexico. It stated that any Mexicans that immigrated to the U.S. were given temporary housing and were to be paid if they did the labor. This brought roughly two million Mexicans into the country. Most of the things the United States promised, including wage, was not given to the Braceros (Vatz).]]> 2018-03-15 02:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242172637 sripley20191 https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242173642 A Mexican laborer allowed in the U.S. to fill in as a temporary agricultural worker.

Because of this,  many Mexicans were able to enter the country. In addition, this brought an end to the Bracero Program. Ten years later, there were amendments to this act which increased the immigration limitations which brought more Mexican immigrants into the country. This was a pull factor because it became easier for Mexicans to enter the country (Vatz).]]> 2018-03-15 03:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242173952 sripley20191 https://padlet.com/sripley20191/6ib6h1jhp5cn/wish/242174466 A limit to an amount of people.

Both of his parents were born in Mexico but immigrated to the United States. From a very young age, Cesar was exposed to injustice. However, early in his career he opposed illegal immigration and encouraged Border Patrol. In 1962, he founded the United Farm Workers association and remained President until a few years before his death in 1993. He quickly gained many followers.
