SUMMARY:Lecture: Life in the Borderlands - the History of Crossing the California-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Desert Lecture Series \nSpeaker: Immigration Historian Deborah Kang\, Ph.D. \nIn the early 1900s\, people freely crossed back and forth between California and Mexico because federal immigration laws were not strongly enforced\, and the two sides were often regarded as parts of the same community.  World War I and the Mexican Revolution led to this change\, as strict regulations were imposed amid growing concerns about foreign enemies and immigrants. Residents in the borderlands strongly objected because they relied upon easy crossings for their society\, family ties\, and economy.  Their objections led to enforcement being relaxed once again.  Our speaker tonight\, Deborah Kang\, is an immigration historian who will explain the evolution of laws and practices along the California-Mexico border\, from around 1900 to the present day.  Join us for this lecture at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center. The program is free for ABDNHA members\, and $10 at the door for the general public. Seating is first-come\, first-served.
