[edit] Title
It appears that unlike some other deportation operations, the Depression-era repatriations were not part of an officially-titled program. Neither were they part of a movement in the sense of "popular", "social", or "political" movement. So the title "Repatriation Movement" is inaccurate. In the absence of an official title, it should probably be moved to United States Depression-era repatriations or something like that.--Rockero 16:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... what about 1930s Mexican American repatriation?--Pharos 21:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- How about Mexican repatriation from the United States, 1931-1934?--Rockero 04:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- This wasn't really a distinct "1931-1934" event. The figure in the first sentence is just a measure of the height of it; it extended some time before and after I'm sure..--Pharos 04:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

- My sources say 1931-1934.--Rockero 04:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- What sources are those?--Pharos 04:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- The Ruiz text cited in the article. Of course, there is always the bigger picture, and it is more than likely that there was pressure on Mexicans to repatriate throughout the Depression and even afterwards. One of the books cited in one of the EL articles is called Abraham Hoffman, Unwanted Mexican Americans in the Great Depression: Repatriation Pressures, 1929-1939,[1] but I haven't read it. Ruiz says that the forced deportations had died down by 1934, though.--Rockero 06:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Different sources give different dates. See for example the Handbook of Texas. My point is really that the event wasn't that clearly defined in time. I've been looking around, and it seems the term "Mexican Repatriation", often capitalized, is pretty commonly used (see google), so perhaps that might work. BTW, see this Apology Act for the 1930s Mexican Repatriation Program.--Pharos 09:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, that should definitely be mentioned in the article. Mexican Repatriation seems like a fine title to me.--Rockero 15:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eugenics and Repatriation
Here I am interested in the use of Eugenics idelologies to aid this particular type of re-patration. Any further information in these regards? I suppose any recent issues about Mexicans in American would also be useful - for example, recent immigration reform and the like. This would be useful I think.
