The Documentary, Latino Americans, will give you a visual illustration to coincide with Part 4 of the 6 themes of the class (Chapters 5-6 of the Text). Latino Americans: Empire of Their Dreams focuses on Mexican Repatriation as a government effort to rid the Southwest of Mexicans and Mexican Americans.

Why does the US target the Mexican population and not other immigrant groups? What is happening in California, during the Depression, that make the Mexican population a justifiable scapegoat? Consider why historians label those not deported as "invisible." How do you think people felt, especially those born in the US, to be considered not worthy or American enough to stay.
