Mexican immigration and history in the area has a much wider tradition then what relates to the 1910 revolution. I think that should be noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.194.203 (talk) 19:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

This article says most Punjabi men in Northern California (Yuba City) did not marry, while they did marry Mexican Americans in the Imperial valley of Southern California. It also says that the Punjabi Mexican Americans are of the Yuba City area. This does not match up. What are the facts? Hmains (talk) 23:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Both the Punjabi and Mexican-Americans followed the seasonal farm harvests in the migrant labor trek across California. The workers may be in Imperial valley during the winter months, then be in the Central or Sacramento Valleys (Yuba city is 30 miles north of the state capital Sacramento) in the summer time. The state miscegenation laws of the 1910's and 1920's made it difficult for spouses of other races to legally marry, but I doubt any got married under Mexican law in the Mexican side of Imperial valley.

Another well known crosscultural group are Filipino-Mexican Americans, and I believe there's a sufficient need for an article to historically explore the sizable number of Filipinos from the then-U.S. ruled Philippines from 1901 to 40 joined the Mexican community of California. Both the two groups lived under Spanish rule, had ancestors converted to Christianity primarily are Roman Catholic, and adapted many features or customs of a Latin American culture. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 07:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
