Led By Fools<p>&quot;There have been two &#39;Mass Deportations&#39; of Mexicans and US citizens of Mexican descent that have happened before in the United States. You don’t know about it because this history isn’t taught.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Scholars estimate that more than half of those pushed out of the country were American citizens, often the U.S. born children of immigrants.”</p><p>&quot;That would mean nearly a million or more U.S. citizens were deported to a country that was not theirs. These were U.S. citizens endowed with all of the rights guaranteed to citizens of this country right?</p><p>Are you ready to defend your neighbors? If not, history will repeat itself if we allow it.</p><p><a href="https://greattransformation.substack.com/p/mass-deportations-a-dark-history" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">greattransformation.substack.c</span><span class="invisible">om/p/mass-deportations-a-dark-history</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bracero" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bracero</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>deportation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mexico</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mexican" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mexican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Depression</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History August 4, 1942: U.S. and Mexico began the Bracero Program to provide cheap Mexican labor to replace U.S. workers who were being sent to fight in World War II, and to replace the 500,000 Mexican workers who were deported during the Great Depression in order to mollify xenophobic demands for “white jobs.” The Bracero program also gave farm-owners an alternative to hiring Anglo farm workers who hadn’t been drafted, many of whom were affiliated with the radical IWW. The Bracero program promised decent and sanitary housing and a minimum wage, but these were generally ignored by employers. Additionally, the workers were often subjected to racist attacks. The abuses contributed to the development of the Chicano Movement, the United Farm Workers and other forms of activism.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bracero" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bracero</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chicano" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chicano</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ufw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ufw</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unitedfarmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>unitedfarmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/xenophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>xenophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ww2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ww2</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IWW</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/minimumwage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>minimumwage</span></a></p>
