      abstract = {In this decade the illegal alien has been a major  newsworthy item; described in terms such as an "invasion of  illegal aliens," a "national disaster" and a "burden of $13  billion for taxpayers" (Bustamante, 1976). It happened  before during the Great Depression of the 1930's when  active and open opposition to Mexican workers in the United  States forced the harsh repatriation and "voluntary"  departures. of over 400,000 Mexican aliens (Hoffman). The  issue over the so-called "wetbacks" came up in the early  1950' s when the claim was made by Mexican-American  organizations in border towns that illegals adversely  effected wages and working conditions (Samora and  Bustamante).},
