AHC: Earlier large scale Hispanic immigration

To the US of course. Scenario must have the 'brown beats black' demogeaphic event occur before, say, 1988.
 
You could start by not having so many Mexicans deported during the 1930s and 1950s, especially in the latter as dubbed Operation Wetback.

My TL has a far more intensive American 'colonization' of the Caribbean but fruit, lumber and various companies. By the 20's many Hispanics are trained in various industries, such as the RCAs radio field. By the 30's many Hispanics, with technical training have moved to the USA, building a strong immigrant community in the South and bits of the Northeast. It was common to hear a Spianish sounding voice for telephone operates, for example.


How was that?
 
Annex Mexico and the entire Central America in 1915. That's the easiest route to have massive Hispanic immigration to US proper.

That could've happened...........preferably without an ethnic cleansing campaign, though, as what seems to have happened in DoD to a point{IIRC}. :( :( {Well, given how thoroughly bigoted the U.S. was to be in that TL, it was to be expected, sadly. :(}

{P.S. If I got something wrong, please correct me...........I haven't actually read the whole thing in a long while. Thanks. ;)}

This is where I think it should start, yes. Perhaps more labor demands during WWII lead to a larger bracero movement? From there, the post-war boom sees many of them send money home and send for their families.

For whatever reason, I find the idea of a large amount of Mexican immigrants in the 50s to be awesome.

Perhaps a larger and longer lasting New Deal mixed in with even more government intervention in the national economy during the World War. Whatever demands of labor that isn't filled by blacks and whites could easily be filled by Hispanics. In OTL, a lot of Mexicans did end up setting shop in California especially Los Angeles to work in factories, building aircraft while Puerto Ricans came to the East Coast.
