Publisher's Synopsis
Their world turned upside-down, they found hope in an unlikely person... They knew him, and he knew them and admired them. Richard Nixon never forgot the Mexicans; he was always faithful and truly gave a damn about their well-being. These pages will reveal how and why millions of Mexicans abruptly departed their homeland, fleeing bloody persecution at the hands of a Marxist, anti-Catholic army and government, scattering across the border in search of work and freedom-and how a young man encountered the people of the Mexican Diaspora of 1913-1930 and made a difference. In the Oval Office of the White House, President Nixon told his newly appointed Cabinet Committee chairman, Henry Ramirez: "We gringos have put up an invisible wall of discrimination against you Mexicans, and you and I are going to knock down that wall." This is the unknown and untold story of the actions Nixon took to help the Diaspora families and their descendants in the United States achieve the American Dream.
