On The Media: The Mexican Repatriation

The story I decided to write about this week was The Mexican "Repatriation" of the 1930's. This definitely impacted social media. Bob Garfield talks a little bit about what the Repatriation was and why it's important. He, along with quite a few others, did not know what the Mexican Repatriation was until argument to deport 11 million Mexicans came to be.

Physical:
This is happening in the United States right now during the presidential debate. Donald Trump wants to deport 11 million Mexicans back to Mexico, but there is evidence that back in the 1930's many Mexicans were born as American Patriots. This in turn creates a problem for Donald Trump and his supporters.

Psychological:
I can only imagine how certain people are feeling right now, especially the Mexican Americans. Reporters are asking questions like are you splitting up families? or where are they going to go? and why would you want to do this?

Social:
Donald Trump, along with many others were in the dark about the Mexican "Repatriation" and when it happened. As a Presidential candidate I feel like he needs to know all of this in order to succeed. Trump came out swinging saying that if they were illegal they had to go. Over 11 million is the number that Donald Trump is faced with at the moment.
Temporal:
Although the Repatriation happened back in the 1930's Trump is living in the now and wants to deport illegal immigrants. No matter if it is a single person who is illegal, if they want to stay with their family they will all have to be deported.
Cultural:
There wasn't a whole lot on the Mexican side of things on the story, but I can only imagine what they are thinking and saying. I'm sure the attitudes toward Donald Trump are not the greatest at this moment. A few of the reporters seemed a little concerned about the whole thing, but again that may just be apart of their jobs.

I believe that the Mexican Repatriation really did happen and that it should change the whole scope on Donald Trumps rampage to deport over 11 million Mexican immigrants, whether illegal or not. They said it was forgotten, but not dissipated. I'm glad it was brought back up for this debate. I don't fully grasp why he wants to get rid of all these citizens. I'm sure the work force will decrease drastically if his plans get thrown into motion.
