Apparently Senator Dunn based his action on a book:
--Decade of Betrayal: Mexican Repatriation in the 1930s
--by Francisco E. Balderrama, Raymond Rodriguez
The book reviews at Amazon are telling!

Reviewer: A reader
I read the review by Michael Sturdevant and think he is probably a racists. I have took classes with Dr. Balderrama and can tell you he is a excellent teacher. He teaches his Chicano students about victimology and how they are victims of white America. This is very true. Some teachers think that Chicanos are struggling to get ahead because they are not as educated as white people. But Balderrama teached us that it is because we are victims that we can't make enough as the white people.
That is why Balderrama is suing the US government. Then the Chicano people will have billions of dollars to share with him. And we don't need to get more education. Just more money. I believe in Balderrama, I believe in victimology, and I only wish all Chicanos believed in victimology, then we would all be as rich as the white people.
This was a great statement to the validity of the supposed deportation of US citizens in the 20's. Good reading.

Thanks for the research effort. Had a hunch.
