Finding Freedom
Our Project
Welcome!
Mexican immigration to the United States has been a controversial topic as of late, but you may be asking yourself, "why is it an issue and how has it been shaped over time?" Our project explores how immigration from Mexico to the United States has changed since the first group of Mexican-Americans were declared citizens in 1846.
