EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Mexicans entering the United States. United States immigration station, El Paso, Texas," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image documents the daily reality of Mexican immigrants as they wait in line to enter the United States through the immigration station in El Paso, Texas. Dressed in simple, worn clothing, the women and children in the photograph exude a sense of resilience and determination. Their expressions convey a mixture of hope and apprehension as they embark on a new journey, leaving their homeland behind. The men, clad in workwear and hats, stand confidently, their gazes fixed on the future. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical narrative of migration during this period. The image was taken during a time when the United States was experiencing significant economic hardship, and many Americans were struggling to make ends meet. Yet, even in the midst of this recession, people continued to migrate in search of better opportunities. The photograph was taken as part of the Farm Security Administration's (FSA) New Deal program, which aimed to provide relief to farmers and rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange, a key figure in the FSA's photography project, captured this image using a nitrate negative process, which was a common technique at the time. The photograph was later made available through the Office of War Information (OWI), which was responsible for producing and disseminating information to the American public during World War II. Today, it stands as an important historical document, shedding light on the experiences of Mexican immigrants during a pivotal moment in American history.
