The conclusion that can be drawn from this evidence is that despite initial protections in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo for the property rights of former Mexican citizens in the areas annexed by the United States, economic troubles and the influence of nativist groups led to the forced repatriation of many people of Mexican origin in the 1930s. This demonstrates a historical pattern of discrimination and prejudice against Mexican Americans and Mexican migrant workers in the United States.
