Did you know we deported Mexican-American American citizens in the early 1900’s?

WTH? I don’t remember ever learning this. I’m linking an article about it here. At the bottom you can click to read an additional article, which I think is also very worth reading, or click my second link.
I’m not saying what is going on today is just like this piece of history, I don’t get the impression we are deporting citizens, but some elements, and certainly some of the sentiment, is the same.
Did you learn about this in school the way you learned about the Japanese being forced into internment camps or Jews being turned away during the Holocaust or segregation? I’m assuming you learned about those other things named in school.
