Pershing and his troops were in Mexico for 11 months and they failed to capture the revolutionary leader. Nonetheless, it can also be seen as a success as the troops were able to engage Villa and keep him away from attacking American cities and its people. The invasion to some extent was used by the troops as a training ground and testing of new military equipments in readiness for the war with Germans.
Adding to the difficulties faced by braceros who attempted to engage in the program and come to work in the U.S. legally, there was the problem of illegal immigration and the fact that the INS, at least tacitly, encouraged Mexicans to illegally cross the border into the U.S. Illegal workers were often “legalized” if they happened to be detained by the border patrol, especially if it was during a peak season for American farmers. (cite, 140) At some points during the program, depending on the state in question, the number of illegal workers actually outnumbered legal braceros.

Victorious conquerors have taken prisoners of war in conflicts across human history. The foreign prison camps of the World Wars were infamous for their cruelty. However, many people are not aware that millions of German prisoners of war were placed in hundreds of camps all across America. These prisoners had their own unique experiences that differed significantly from prisoners held in foreign POW camps. Kurt Vonnegut voices his own traumatizing prisoner of war experience through the main character of Slaughterhouse-Five.
There are several ways that social workers, settlement houses, or activism organizations help Mexican immigrants and Mexicans- Americans in Chicago. Chicago's economy was based on the railroad, steel, sugar beet, and meatpacking industries. Workers were needed to replace employees on strike or men fighting overseas during World War I. Business leaders sent representatives to the Southwest to hire Mexican immigrants and transport them north.

Here, the symptoms leading to mental affection would fall on the parents, and hence they are legally responsible for the causes. Similarly, Fidelity would have to be accountable for the damages caused to Caparo.

In the early 1990’s, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari announced the proposition of a free trade agreement that would cure all of Mexico’s problems.

Similarly, both these countries could also prosper from better wages and higher levels of employment in the manufacturing sector. For Mexico, higher levels of employment are important to mitigating the problem of undocumented Mexican migration.
