Like today’s ICE,
Depression-era INS agents indiscriminately rounded up Mexicans,
presuming they were here illegally.
In Los Angeles, they targeted parks, hospitals, and work sites in Mexican communities,
demanding proof of citizenship.
High-profile raids and media campaigns announcing impending roundups served as tools of intimidation,
creating widespread fear that led to “voluntary” deportation via free one-way train tickets to Mexico.

The U.S. Southwest's disappearing precipitation is also due to human-driven climate change, according to report https://phys.org/news/2025-12-southwest-precipitation-due-human-driven.html

The U.S. Southwest's disappearing precipitation is also due to human-driven climate change, according to report
The Colorado River Basin, like much of the southwestern U.S., is experiencing a drought so historic—it began in 1999—that it's been called a megadrought. In the basin, whose river provides water to seven states and Mexico, that drought is the product of warming temperatures and reduced precipitation, especially in the form of winter snow.

I live in California.
California was extorted from Mexico by the so-called "Mexican War" or 1846.
President, US Grant - yes that Grant from the Civil War - said that the 1846 Mexican War was the most unjust war he had ever seen. And Grant was right, it was a pretext war to take land from Mexico.
So I am wondering when Mexico will do a snatch and grab on El Cheato and take over the running of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Nevada and Utah.
