Answer:

b. Very few Mexican immigrants worked as migrant farm laborers.

Step-by-step explanation:

New industries in the Southwest of America during the 1890s, especially in agriculture and mining, attracted Mexican immigrants. Mexican immigrants in Texas hold up to 9% of the population. The Mexican immigrants came from rural areas as labourers to work in mining and agricultural fields for stability and employment. The Mexican Revolution increased the flow of Mexican people in America, who were refugees and political exile decamped to America to escape death and violence.
