Joshua CasalesHernandez highlights how race and discrimination influenced the development of the Border Patrol especially in targeting Mexican migrants. This shows that enforcement was not just about law, but also about social attitudes and power structures at the time. #Hist416
@cjoshua2118 I agree that the enforcement was about the social attitudes at the time. Race also showed how the government was already trying to demonize a certain race to push their agenda #Hist416
@cjoshua2118 this is the case across all LE back in the day, unfortunately.
