"The Mexican workers in the US were not guaranteed general access to American schools or medical facilities, and when they had children born while they were in the US, those children were Mexicans, not Americans."

I'm quite sure the author is WRONG on this account. If born in the US, they were citizens, then and now.

I'm open to being proved wrong, but on this I'm fairly certain.

During the bracero program, women were not permitted in the camps. Very different situation.
