Book excerpt: This collection in comprised of approximately 17,000 pages of U.S. Bureau of Immigration case files that offer substantial information on Mexican immigration from 1900-1932, during a period when the Mexican-born population of the United States grew from 103,000 to over 1,400,000. The Mexican Revolution, job opportunities during World War I, and long-term transformations in U.S. industry and agriculture all contributed to Mexican immigration to the United States during this time period. Collection materials document the influx of Mexican immigrants across the borders of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, as well as immigrants from other countries who also entered the United States by way of Mexico. A large portion of the collection consists of documents presented at boards of inquiry regarding the admission of immigrant families at specific ports of entry. The documents include transcripts of board proceedings that inquire into immigrants' reasons for entering the United States and determine whether the requirements of immigration regulations have been met. Additionally, there is survey and statistical information, including family size, education, occupation, health, immigrants' origins and destinations, and public assistance requirements. Also included in the collection are documents describing negotiations between the United States and Mexico on immigration policy and Congressional legislation. Often, proposed legislation supported increased restrictions on immigration, with some exceptions. For example, in order to meet agricultural labor demands during World War I, Congress temporarily suspended American laws forbidding the use of contract labor. This allowed the influx of Mexican immigrants who would not have otherwise been permitted into the country legally.

Download or read book In Sight of America written by Dr. Anna Pegler-Gordon and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When restrictive immigration laws were introduced in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, they involved new requirements for photographing and documenting immigrants--regulations for visually inspecting race and health. This work is the first to take a comprehensive look at the history of immigration policy in the United States through the prism of visual culture. Including many previously unpublished images, and taking a new look at Lewis Hine's photographs, Anna Pegler-Gordon considers the role and uses of visual documentation at Angel Island for Chinese immigrants, at Ellis Island for European immigrants, and on the U.S.-Mexico border. Including fascinating close visual analysis and detailed histories of immigrants in addition to the perspectives of officials, this richly illustrated book traces how visual regulations became central in the early development of U.S. immigration policy and in the introduction of racial immigration restrictions. In so doing, it provides the historical context for understanding more recent developments in immigration policy and, at the same time, sheds new light on the cultural history of American photography.
