Answer:
The most influential immigrant group in Texas culture came from Mexico. Mass relocations occurred at the turn of the 20th century due to the Mexican Revolution. Agricultural expansion attracted laborers. By 1930, Mexican American population of Texas exceeded 700,000, and by 1960 it exceeded 1.4 million. Many Mexican Americans worked as migrant farm laborers in Texas who began on the farms of South Texas and moved north into the Panhandle. After World War II, increased numbers of Mexican Americans left rural areas and moved to urban areas. Mexican Americans actively sought to bridge their two worlds. By the 1920s, Mexican American leaders sought integration of Mexican Americans into American society. They began learning English and participating in the political system while still honoring traditions of Mexico. By the 1990s, nearly 40% of all Mexican Americans in the workforce held skilled or professional positions. Mexican American culture blended the customs of Mexico with those of the U.S. Mexican customs were heavily influenced by Spanish traditions. Spanish newspapers and radio stations addressed news and concerns of both nations. Mexican Americans have a strong literary tradition, Tex-Mex food (a blend of the two cuisines), and are represented by many painters, sculptors, and musicians like artist Manuel Acosta and singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.
