What part of the 1900's!? It really depends!. In the early 20th century it was mostly wealthy Mexicans coming!. They didn't experience much discrimination!. Later, as the poorer classes came, they were more heavily discriminated against!. I am not sure by who mostly though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Back in the 1900's" is not clear!.
Assuming you mean the early part of the Century - most of them were here before the White man!.
It wasn't until the past 30 years or so that there's been a major problem - and it's gotten MUCH worse since NAFTA!.
The Blacks, Whites and Mexicans have been cruel to one another for all time for no reason!.
They've also been friends!.
You really have to be more specific!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
