Los repatriados - El Vigia

Mexicanos que vivían en Los Ángeles, California fueron los fundadores de poblados como el Ex Ejido Chapultepec, San Quintín, Eréndira y El Porvenir

"...hasta finales de la década de 1920...comienza un plan para mexicanizar la parte norte de la península de Baja California...se aprovechó para repatriar a los mexicanos desempleados y a sus familias que residían en California, ya que eran víctimas de la gran depresión económica que desde 1928 se vivía en los Estados Unidos...

...Emilio Bolaños Cacho...miembro de la Comisión Agraria...fue uno de los principales promotores en la dotación de tierras ejidales. El gobierno les dio garantías dotándolos de tierras y de los implementos necesarios para comenzar a formar nuevos núcleos poblacionales productivos.

Así es como los nuevos colonos en 1929 dan origen a la colonia Agrícola Moderna (hoy ex Ejido Chapultepec); en 1931 repueblan San Quintín; en 1938 fundan el Ejido Eréndira; y entre 1937 y 1939, llegan al Valle de Guadalupe y forman el Ejido El Porvenir..."

El Porvenir, Las Escobas, Valle de San Quintín

Very interesting article but they did get a few of the facts wrong concerning the title of the property that would become the San Quintin Valley back in 1947. The Orendain family was given a simple 10 year concession over a portion of that property, and not the entire parcel. Mexico City never granted them the title nor did they ever pay the national land title fees to Mexico City. From that mistake were born the problems they now face in the valley today.

Expect a very big court decision to be annonced in this matter later this year...

I was hoping you'd chime in on that part.

From my (few)experiences where I was actually present(during later-reported newsworthy events), media rarely does even a passable job at fairly portraying the basics.

Re: Media
Must have something to do with "conservatism" in some way.

Rather than do all their homework it is just easier to look for an answer online or call somebody to get a version that sounds plausible. Journalsim in the modern era has really gone downhill...
