What's the time frame?

Answer 2

Late 60's early 70s

Answer 3

I googled and came up with this.

Mexican-Americans were called Mexicans during that time and they worked in low-skill laborers jobs, or in the hundreds of factories, and warehouses. Many worked for the railroads pulling up old and laying new track. Those elsewhere were braceros in the fields , in the orchards and vineyards and truck farms. Everybody worked. The peso was worth 12 1/2 cents. Also, political involvement was non-existent for most Mexicans except for a few college students. Their efforts were spent on national issues surrounding Cesar Chavez.
