For example, in 1909 an '''official labor contract'''' was issued for 1,000 immigrant workers in California.
-*In 1910, the United States set up Immigration Services in the border towns.
-*During the '''Depression'''' many of the ''''Mexican migrant workers went back to Mexico'''. But as the economy later improved, the migrant workers returned to the United States.
