However, in an unprecedented move, the Roosevelt administration wielded the power of "administrative law" to neutralize the decision and thereby dealt a severe blow to the nativist movement. "A Quiet Victory for Latino Rights" recounts this important but little-known story. To the dismay of some nativist groups, the Immigration Act of 1924, which limited the number of immigrants who could be admitted annually, did not apply to immigrants from Latin America. In response to nativist legal maneuverings, the 1935 decision said that the act could be applied to Mexican immigrants. That decision, which ruled that the Mexican petitioners were not "free white person[s]," might have paved the road to segregation for all Latinos. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), founded in 1929, had worked to sensitize the Roosevelt administration to the tenuous position of Latinos in the United States. Advised by LULAC, the Mexican government, and the US State Department, the administration used its authority under administrative law to have all Mexican immigrants--and Mexican Americans--classified as "white." It implemented the policy when the federal judiciary "acquiesced" to the New Deal, which in effect prevented further rulings. In recounting this story, complete with colorful characters and unlikely bedfellows, Patrick Lukens adds a significant chapter to the racial history of the United States. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHispanic Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHispanic Americans$xRace identity$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1929-1933 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 607 $aUnited States$xSocial policy 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xRace identity$xHistory 676 $a323.1168/0730904 700 $aLukens$b Patrick D.$f1966-$01863945 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964365003321 996 $aA quiet victory for Latino rights$94470648 997 $aUNINA
