What was it like for Hispanics when immigrating into the U.S?

Through beginning my research it was difficult to really find an article that had one specific topic about discrimination. Looking through I found a few things that have started my research to go deeper in.


As many Latino/Hispanic/Mexicans immigrated into the U.S, for a better pay, during the 1900's the discrimination that they faced was segregation in residential areas. Cities would keep the groups away from the white residential areas to keep track of where they go. This is a similarity to how African-Americans were treated as well with children being segregated from being able to participate in white schools. Being treated this way shows how the people in white communities wanted to keep that separation. In a way it was the "whites" pushing away from change as well with the Hispanic groups finding their comfort zone being near people who came from the same country. That is what I have so far seen in my research of what Latino/Hispanic groups faced when immigrating during that time of year.
