| Resumo: | As a consequence of the 1910 Revolution, Mexico redefined its limits to the presence of foreigners in all domains of national life. This work traces the conflicts that gave place to the expelling or entry denial of American citizens from the beginning of the revolutionary upheaval to the thirties. The author studies the social practices and governmental actions carried out during this period regarding the undesirability attributed to members of the American community living in Mexico. This research seeks to reconstruct a setting where deportations and immigration restrictions were based both on claims of justice regarding behaviors that threatened recently acquired social rights, and on racial, moral, and public security criteria that sought to reestablish Mexican social order.
