Notes: A poster at Media Matters For America made this observation — “After destroying the economy, destroying the country, and engaging in the worst kind of racist and classist politics, suddenly we are supposed to believe the Repubschmucks when they say, ‘trust us.‘ They can all go to hell. Why didn’t the Repubschmucks reform immigration when they had control of the WH and Congress?

Because they are all about ethnic cleansing.

That is what is Arizona’s law if for, to begin the purging the nation of all brown-skinned people. Eventually, they will say that descendants of slaves should not be allowed citizenship since they only were anchor babies. Republicanism has turned into an Aryan Nationionalism.

Panel smacks down Senor’s claim that a GOP Congress would be more likely to pass comprehensive immigration reform

Ethic cleansing of Mexicans, and for the record — black and brown lynchings, have happened before. For example, in the 1930s local, state and federal authorities arrested residents of Mexican heritage–citizens and non-citizens alike; confiscated their property, and deported them to Mexico.

During the late 1920s, declining profit margins sparked a worldwide crisis in capitalism known as The Great Depression.

The stock market crash of 1929 paralyzed American industry and produced historically high unemployment rates. Mexican and Mexican American workers, along with African Americas and other minorities, were vulnerable elements in the reserve industrial army and among the hardest hit. The political backlash to the widespread economic hardships of the time, which should have been aimed at the capitalist system of exploitation, fell instead on minority workers and their families. Mexican immigrants, welcomed as laborers during the economic boom of the war years, were scapegoated during the depression and subjected to racist attacks and severe immigration restrictions.

The anti-immigrant hysteria generated during the Great Depression helped defuse the political time bomb of mass unemployment in the U.S. and led directly to the mass deportation of Mexicans. Between 250,000 and 350,000 Mexican workers and their families, many of which included American born children (and therefore American citizens), were deported over the next decade. The Mexican population in the U.S. dropped an estimated 40 percent during the ten-year period. The state of Indiana lost three-fourths of its Mexican population, and another twelve states — Colorado, Illinois, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming — all lost over half.
