After living terror moments of deportation in the final days of President Hoover's administration, Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans found some kind of tranquility with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his "New Deal" Program. This program included some assistance to Mexicans and other Hispanics such as the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The US government also established some camps for immigrants in California through the Farm Security Administration.
