Kevin R. Johnson, associate dean for academic affairs at the University of California at Davis, says the U.S. government should recognize Mexican repatriation because of impact that still affects Mexican Americans even now (2). Ignorance is often at the root of racial and civil issues, but the lack of information, this time, is not under anyone's control. Researchers and historians have difficulty finding accurate statistics. Related to additional questions asked about repatriated Mexican Americans, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services tells researchers that the INS has kept a small record of Mexican repatriation. The lack of accurate public information has caused growing frustration. These survivors want to educate people to help them understand their struggles. Francisco E. Balderrama states: «Knowledge of this great injustice will prevent other ethnic or racial groups from suffering the same mistreatment, especially in difficult times of social unrest and economic crisis» (109). Survivors believe that if schools educated future generations about previous acts of racial injustice, then they would not be so quick to commit such acts.
