Immigration of Chicanos has been happening for a very long time, but the only difference is that it is now becoming a problem.

Chinese Immigrants in Northern California Throughout its history the United States has seen a great ebb and flow in the amount of immigrants entering the country. For a country that was founded by immigrants many of its policies in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to exclude and limit the amount of immigrants coming from many continents, including Asia and Africa. Chinese Immigrants increasingly started showing up in Northern California at the start of the gold rush in 1849 and would establish a large enclave known as China Town in San Francisco. Immigrants from China were particularly targeted with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, that made illegal, the influx of Chinese laborers that had been migrating to the US just a few years prior.
During the 1800s, many Chinese immigrants entered America to seek substantial economic wealth and a prosperous life.

The California Gold Rush was amongst one of the many attractions that America offered. However, the Chinese immigrants had many difficulties on their way to following the American Dream. An obstacle they had to overcome was the laws of their imperial monarchy of the time, the Qing dynasty of China. Their rule, which lasted from 1875 to 1908, had opposing views on the working class of China migrating to America and is what postponed immigration for many Chinese people. Those who were able to immigrate were second and third class and often came without much wealth, enduring the poor living conditions on their transportation, with small cabins and terrible food.

The nation was not concerned about large groups or the ethnicities entering the U.S., since the need for laborers was in high demand. Even today the same concept has not changed, skilled laborers are in high demand and the majority of these skilled laborers are Mexican immigrants; however, immigrants are being persecuted and deported back to their country. The U.S. has long debated the increase of Mexican immigrants entering the country.
With the United States changing by the 1900s, many Mexicans worked in agriculture industry. They faced many struggles in their workplace compared to Americans. America wanted cheap labor, so they turned to Mexicans, letting many Mexicans into America because of labor shortages. Many of them had to go strike just to get equal job rights as an American.
