In the early years of the twentieth
century, industrialists sent recruiters to Mexico to employ reserve
laborers, potential strikebreakers, and seasonal agricultural workers.
Since that time, Mexicanos have maintained a continual presence
in the American Midwest. From the early recruitment of railroad
workers through the more recent migration of undocumented workers
during the final decades of the century, Mexicanos' experiences
have varied throughout the region, and both differed from and paralleled
those of Mexicanos in the Southwest. |
