| Mobilization meant high prices for farmers and plentiful jobs at high wages in the new war industries (Figure 22.1).

| DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCES OF MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS TO THE US BETWEEN 1910 AND 1920 |
|
Definition
| Between 1910 and 1920, the Mexican-born population in the United States soared from 222,000 to 478,000. Mexican immigration resulted from developments on both sides of the border. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz initiated land policies that decimated poor farmers. When the Mexicans revolted against Diaz in 1910, initiating a ten-year civil war, the trickle of migration became a flood. North of the border, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and later the disruption of World War I cut off the supply of cheap foreign labor and caused western employers in the expanding rail, mining, construction, and agricultural industries to look south to Mexico for workers. |
