Also, just search 'docmentary of the Bisbee Deportation' to find much more on the topic. While Bisbee is now a combination of long established Hispanic families, hippies from the 60s and recently a tourist hang out in the AZ borderlands, the memory of the deportation is strong. There are people whose families have been in Bisbee for generations, and a lot of 'newbies' who embrace the culture and peculiar history of the place.

The Deportation is a stain on our nation that too few know about. Today, we are seeing old horrors rearing their ugly heads, but the horrors are nothing new, especially to the proud Hispanic families who have been here since before AZ became part of the US. Ignorance is not bliss. Too often it is the conduit from old horrors to new horrors.
