data on their first and last arrival in the United States were secured for
223 men and 11 women. We did not ask for documentary proof of arrival
for two reasons: we had no authority to warrant such a request and to
ask it would have aroused suspicion, antagonism and fear. The data was
secured by visitors from several agencies at various times and compared.
Although there are, no doubt, errors in the individual case, we believe
the total picture of the arrival of the Mexican Community to be usably
accurate. The data is quite significant. We found that no family head who
is here now came from Mexico for the first time later than 1929, or for
the last time later than 1931. Only 21 of the total of 184 foreign-born
heads of families or single persons over 21 on whom data was secured
arrived for the last time after 1926. In other words, all of them have
been in the United States more than five years, all but 21 have been
here 10 years since the last time they came. In addition to the 48 heads of
families who were born here, 29 have been here since 1907, more than
30 years; 56 have been here 25 years or more; and 111 more than 20
years; 162 more than 15 years.

Out of the 284 cases of heads of families or single men and women over 21 born in Mexico for whom arrival data was secured, all but 20 were either born here or have been here over 10 years.

Arrival In Minnesota

The charts on first and last arrival in Minnesota give data for 275 heads of families or single persons out of 344 schedules taken. Of these 6 were born in Minnesota, 2 in Europe. It is significant that none of the 269 came to Minnesota for the first time in 1935 or 1936. Seven came in 1934, 16 in 1933 and 22 in 1931, making a total of only 61 in the past 5 years. None came in the past 2 years who had not been here previously. Twelve families came in 1935 for the last time. Technically these may not have settlements here, but on the whole we can say that the families for whom data on arrival was secured have legal residence in Minnesota. Eight of the families now in St. Paul have been in Minnesota more than 20 years; 37 have been here more than 15 years; 78 came between 1922 and 1926 so that 115 schedules, in addition to the 6 born here, covered Mexicans who have been in the State more than 10 years.

Arrival In St. Paul

We find a total of 25 schedules where the first arrival in St. Paul was 1935 and 29 additional ones with 1534 arrival. Twenty-three came in 1933; 17 in 1932; 26 in 1931, a total of 120 who have come to the city within 5 years. We know of no one who was in the city before 1912 although 4 schedules covered people who had been here more than 20 years, 21 more than 15 years and 78 more than 10 years. The large number of 116 last arrivals in St. Paul in 1935, contrasted with only 22 first arrivals in the same year and 29 for the year previous, indicates an inclusion of seasonal returns from the beet fields without other signifi

cance.
