4/10. US Immigration. In the 1930s, up to two million Mexicans were forced to leave the US and return to Mexico. Many of those who were deported were born in the US and had never been to Mexico. The aim was to keep jobs for
Americans. Now there are calls for an apology and for the "Mexican Reparation" to be finally included in the history books. Linda Pressly travels to California to meet some of the people caught up in the deportations and investigates claims that history could repeat itself. Producer Emma Rippon Repeated on Monday at 8.30pm
