Book examines U.S. citizen expulsions
The article examines the history and impact of U.S. government efforts between 1921 and 1944 to expel approximately one million Mexican Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens, through a process referred to as banishment rather than voluntary repatriation. It highlights personal stories, such as Guadalupe Espinoza’s family, to show the trauma inflicted by these actions and discusses ongoing debates about birthright citizenship amid current political efforts to restrict immigration rights. The article underscores the lasting consequences of these historic expulsions and their relevance to contemporary policy debates.
