During the early 1900s and in times of economic growth when workers were needed, Mexican workers were welcomed across the border with relative ease. But during the Great Depression of the 1930s this was not the case. Mexican workers were perceived as the cause of America's misfortune and occupying job opportunities that could be taken by a white Americans("Fact Sheet- n.pag.). Nor was it during "Operation Wetback- in the 1950s which primarily focused on Mexicans being deported back to Mexico, along with their American born children, which were technically American citizens (Operation Gatekeeper: -New Resoures-1). During these periods, over a million people of Mexican descent were "repatriated- to Mexico, even though most had United States citizenship (US Commission on Civil Rights, 11).
The Border Patrol was created in 1924 as part of what was then called the Immigration Bureau to "patrol the land border and stop smuggling- ("Human Rights Concerns in the Border Region with Mexico, 4). It has steadily expanded, especially in recent years, to more than 6,300 agents in 1997. The Immigration Bureau has since been renamed the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, and claims the largest number of federal agents with arrest powers. As of 1996, the INS employed 12,403 such agents ("Human Rights Concerns in the Border Region with Mexico, 5). .
By the mid-1990s the issue of illegal immigration had moved into the realm of politics. Operation Hold the Line, in El Paso, Texas was being seen as a new model to stem the tide of illegal immigration. It used an increased number of INS agents in a highly visible posture intended to deter immigrants from crossing illegally (Nevins 14). There was also an increased anti-immigrant sentiment in California demonstrated by the passage of Proposition 187, which denied benefits to illegal aliens, including the deprivation of Mexican children attending public school (American Friends Service Committee).
