Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repatriation actually refers to the process of deporting Mexican and Mexican-American individuals, including those who were born in the United States, during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Some Chicanos did voluntarily leave the US during this period, but it was not a process of naturalization as American citizens.
