    Ethnic Groups in Minnesota: What our ancestors faced
    and what current immigrants confront
    Part III: The Mexicans
    A good day for the annual Mens Ham Dinner
    By Rin Porter
    In this story, we continue our
    series on Minnesotas ethnic
    groups of immigrants, and what
    each group faced as people left
    their home places and came to the
    U.S. The migrations began in the
    1600s and continue today.
    BACKGROUND
    From fewer than 6,100 people in
    1850, Minnesota's population grew
    to over 1.75 million by 1900. Each
    of the next six decades saw a 15%
    rise in population, reaching 3.41
    million in 1960. Growth then
    slowed, rising to 3.8 million in
    1970, and to 4.91 million in the
    2000 census. As of July 1, 2009, the
    state's population was estimated
    at 5,266,214 by the U.S. Census
    Bureau <http://en.wikipedia.
    org/wiki/U.S._Census_Bureau> .
    The Constitution placed no
    restrictions on immigration. In
    fact, the new country needed more
    people to work - clearing land for
    farms, building roads, cutting lum-
    ber, and growing food.
    Millions of people emigrated from
    Europe between 1776 and 1890.
    The first U.S. law limiting
    immigration was the Page Act of
    1875. It prohibited immigrants
    who were considered undesirable
    from entering the U.S. The law
    classified as "undesirable" any
    individual from Asia
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia
    > who was coming to America to
    be a forced laborer
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfr
    ee_labour>, any Asian woman who
    would engage in prostitution
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prost
    itution>, and all people considered
    to be convicts
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conv
    ict> in their own country
    (Wikipedia).
    Additional laws passed in 1906,
    1907, 1917, 1918, 1921, and 1924
    established more restrictions on
    immigration: making some knowl-
    edge of English a requirement for
    citizenship, further restricting
    immigration from Asia and includ-
    ing a reading test, restricting the
    immigration from a given country
    to 3% of the number of people from
    that country living in the U.S. in
    1910, and freezing the 1924 ethnic
    distribution in response to rising
    immigration from Southern and
    Eastern Europe, as well as Asia,
    and introducing quotas.
    In the first article in this series
    on immigration, we examined the
    German-speaking people who
    formed the largest group to come to
    America and to come to Minnesota.
    In the second article, we consid-
    ered the Polish people who came
    from an area close by the German-
    speaking areas, and sometimes
    overlapping them in Central
    Europe.
    In this third article, we study
    the experiences of Mexicans.
    HISTORY OF MEXICO
    Before Columbus, the conti-
    nents of North and South America
    were populated by millions of
    native people, who formed thou-
    sands of tribes. The tribes lived
    throughout the vast area of the
    Western Hemisphere, from the tip
    of South America to the Arctic
    Circle of North America. Some
    were hunter-gatherers, some were
    agriculturalists, and some were
    both. These tribes had complex
    religious and social systems, as we
    know from archaeological studies
    of the ruins of buildings created by
    the Maya, Aztec, Toltec, Mixtec,
    Olmec, and many other civiliza-
    tions that were based in Central
    and South America.
    Before Columbus, explorers
    from areas we now know as
    Scandinavia, France, and the
    Netherlands had rowed and sailed
    boats to Greenland and northern
    Canada, trading with the native
    people there, but never trying to
    It was a cold, blustery Sunday afternoon for the Annual Mens Ham Dinner held at Christ
    the King Church on April 13th.
    A large number of friends and family members helped Topsy
    May celebrate her 80th birthday at the Browerville
    Community Center on April 12th.
