After not only losing a huge amount of land to the United States of America, many Mexicans such as the gold diggers and even New Mexicans that had already been residing in American territory had to face problems with their own civil rights and citizenship (pg.103, pg.104). This is what shaped the geographical boundaries that the United States has today. The Mexican war did not leave a pleasing result for New Mexico and many of the Mexicans residing in the Southwest because of the violent attacks coming from the Indians in their settlements (pg.104). Although Mexico was angered by the loss of their land, some Mexicans in specific were grateful for the settlement because now Mexico had protection from the United States for their properties
People were so intolerant of Semitism, Catholicism, and Radicalism that laws were imposed to restrict the immigration quota of the time. Even the Catholic Church was intolerant of Mexicans in the southwest solely because of cultural differences in their Catholic practices.

Many Americans believe that Hispanics that are not legal in this country do not deserve to have a job in this country, and have taken away the jobs that are left for Americans. The attitude that the American citizens have developed toward the Hispanic community has put pressure on the government and employers of America.

The reality in human nature, regardless of race, is that neglect breeds contempt. More and more Asian youths are not only breaking away from familial ties but also social stereotypes. Crime is a great way to break every Asian stereotype. Asian crimes, although not always studied correctly or accurately, are on the rise. The problem with the older Asian generations and the rest of American society is a long and painful past between their homeland and America.
Some debates talk about citizenship, border security, driver's license, mass deportations, threats, economic burdens, and higher crime rates. For example, in America, 72% of legal citizens oppose allowing illegal immigrants the ability to obtain a driver's license (Miller). Other problems create disadvantages towards American citizens and workers, such as the Southwest seeing an increase in mass murders, sexual assaults, kidnappings, shootings, armed robberies, burglaries, and more, most being tied to illegal immigration (Greenblatt). These problems further drain public budgets and intensify competition for jobs, social services, and low-cost affordable housing because of the congestion in cities and towns that involve minorities, the homeless, everyday citizens, and both legal and illegal immigrants. Throughout the current wave of immigration, polls have consistently found that the public, at large, favors curbing immigration.
The greasers of the 1950s took their name from the “Greaser Act” which was a law created in California against Mexicans to protect Californians from Mexicans who were unarmed, but not peaceful or quiet people. The name “Greaser” was given to the Mexicans that greased carts, in the mid-1800s; this job was one of the worst jobs that anyone could have, which made the name “Greaser” one of utmost disrespect. When they adopted the name “greaser” also from the greased back hairstyle they did so with the idea of rebellion. Doing so with their look and attitudes. Many believe that this rebellious attitude came from the fact that the 1950s was a time of suppressed libido, due to the recovery from the war Nowadays, greasers are classified as people who not so much have the typical pompadour slicked back hairstyles but with “street cred” as a car guy who knows how to work on his hot rods.
Eddy Gonzalez PAS 327 Weds 6:10-10 “Border town” In the film Bordertown, there were many types of emotions that were experienced by the Hispanic society. The types of emotions that the characters in the film experienced were anger and dissatisfaction. The dominant ideology in regards to the subject at hand during that time were negative towards the Hispanic culture. I know personally because I am Hispanic and my family members would tell me stories about their experiences during these times and how they weren’t respected, no matter what they would do they were seen as beneath the white society. In the film Bordertown the filmmaker is trying to encoded a sense of fear, this is opinion of what the filmmakers was encoding.
In these songs the artist makes evident to the listener the types of acts of violence that took place all over the city by oppressed citizens in order to make their point. The L.A. Riots of 1992 was a can of pop that exploded due to years of aggravation. Living conditions of urban African-American citizens not improving, friction between the disreputable authority ( Mostly consisting of white people.) and minorities, and the dream of equality never fully being realized attributed to the civil unrest.
Even when it came to more accomplished African diplomats, they too were mistreated simply due to the color of their skin. Maltreatment occurred across the United States, as people of African descent were rejected from restaurants, social clubs and decent housing was denied (Romano, 2000, P.551-552). This mix of injustice begin to create a melting pot of frustrations and civil unrest. At the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement were two
