The Mexican Repatriation was a mass deportation of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans from the United States between 1929 and 1936. Estimates of how many were repatriated range from 400,000 to 2,000,000 (Wikipedia).

This followed the Wall Street crash of 1929, and resulting growth in nativist sentiment, exemplified by President Herbert Hoover's call for deportation and a series on the racial inferiority of Mexicans run by the Saturday Evening Post (Wikipedia).

Mexico would recover Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. 
The telegram was considered perhaps Britain's greatest intelligence coup of World War I and, coupled with American outrage over Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, was the tipping point persuading the U.S. to join the war.

President Cárdenas nationalized the oil industry in response to the companies' defiance of a Supreme Court decision in a labor dispute.

Some growers went to the extent of building three labor camps, one for whites, one for blacks, and the one for Mexicans.[52] The living conditions were horrible, unsanitary, and poor. One example of this is in 1943 Grants Pass, Oregon, 500 braceros were food poisoned which was one of the most severe cases of food poisoning reported in the Northwest. This detrition of the quality and quantity of food persisted into 1945 until the Mexican government intervened.[53] Lack of food, poor living conditions, discrimination, and exploitation led braceros to become active in strikes and to successfully negotiate their terms.
