History
Wetback stereotype originated from Mexican immigrants crossing the
Rio Grande to immigrate to the U.S in 1920s
More than 40 million immigrants resided in the United States as of
2012
Most immigrants come to the U.S. to seek better opportunities in life
and jobs
Poverty rates for Hispanics are 24% which is more than double of nonHispanic Whites -10%.
Motivation
We live right by the border
Cant find solution, but we have the opportunity to start up
conversations here and get the first hand experiences of
immigration.
Some of us are Mexican or have Mexican family members and we
are curious to what other people have to say.
Project Summary
What is our project?
Were interviewing any willing people and telling them some facts
about the European immigrants
Including all the atrocities that were committed against the Native
Americans.
We will first tell them as if theyre about present day Mexican
immigrants. Then reveal they are not.
We hope to engage them in a conversation about immigration
afterwards and get their thoughts and opinions.
