Mexican Immigration in the 1920s

Like Opposition to the Philippine-American War, this assessment gauges students’ ability to reason about how evidence supports a historical argument. Students must explain how a newspaper editorial in the El Paso Herald and the congressional testimony of a Texas farmer both support the conclusion that some Americans opposed Mexican immigration in the 1920s.
