In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, more stringent enforcement of immigration laws were ordered by the executive branch of the U.S. government, which led to increased deportation and [[Mexican Repatriation|repatriation]] to Mexico. In the 1930s, during the [[Great Depression]], between 355,000 and 2 million Mexicans and Mexican Americans were deported or repatriated to Mexico, an estimated 40 to 60% of whom were U.S. citizens – overwhelmingly children. At least 82,000 Mexicans were formally deported between 1929 and 1935 by the government. Voluntary repatriations were more common than deportations.<ref name="gratton">{{cite news|url=https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/102163/imre12054.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y|title=Immigration, Repatriation, and Deportation: The Mexican-Origin Population in the United States, 1920–1950|last1=Gratton|first1=Brian|last2=Merchant |first2=Emily|date=December 2013|pages=944–975|publisher=The International migration review|issue=4|volume=47}}</ref><ref>McKay, "The Federal Deportation Campaign in Texas: Mexican Deportation from the Lower Rio Grande Valley During the Great Depression", ''Borderlands Journal'', Fall 1981; Balderrama and Rodriguez, ''Decade of Betrayal: Mexican Repatriation in the 1930s'', 1995; Valenciana, "Unconstitutional Deportation of Mexican Americans During the 1930s: A Family History and Oral History", ''Multicultural Education'', Spring 2006.</ref> In 1954, the executive branch of the U.S. government implemented [[Operation Wetback]], a program created in response to public hysteria about immigration and immigrants from Mexico.<ref>See Albert G.
