Introduction For several years, foreign communities seeking asylum in the US have continually suffered from racial prejudice and alienation. Several communities living in the US including the black Americans, Afro-Americans, Anglo-American, Canadians, Cubans, Mexicans, Filipinos, Hawaiians, and Chinese among others have experienced discrimination. 1 This aspect led to rising of veterans from different immigrant communities. In special attention to Mexicans, this community had veterans who tirelessly fought for equity especially among Native Americans and immigrant labourers. The advent of these veterans led to the formation of American Government Issue Forum that consequently spread to over 40 Texas cities in the United States. 2 This forum provided a route through which Mexican American veterans articulated their grievances on bigotry against them, which countered favouritism and immigrants found a relief to equity. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine how the Mexicans in the US integrate in the state through labour unions and how they solve their daily problems socially and politically. Background Mexican veterans have continually played a significant role in the life of Mexican Americans living in the U.S, with G.I. Forums making great impacts on their lives. The G.I. Forum came into existence in the year 1948, immediately after the end of the Second World War. 3 Dr. Hector P. Garcia initiated the organisation with a primary objective of addressing Mexican American veterans’ issues including the alienation that they were undergoing at that time. Mexican American veterans faced ethnic and racial discrimination in numerous ways. To begin, the veterans suffered denial of medical services while serving under the United States Army. On realisation of the prejudice that dominated the U.S. army and the entire state, the G.I.

Forums grew exponentially covering several cities in Texas claiming for civil, voting, educational, and adjudicator’s assortment rights. After acquiring recognition in the U.S, the war against discrimination did not halt. Mexican American leaders and other veterans continued suffering until after the assassination of their most influential leader, Felix Longoria. 5 The white veterans tried to deny Mr. Longoria burial service, but the founder of the G.I. Forums secured the burial of the veteran through political talks. The advent of this case brought the American G.I Forum into public and national attention. The American G.I Forum continued to fight against discrimination and ensured that Mexican Americans received all rights just as other citizens, especially in the areas of healthcare to the poor. 6 Voting being among their greatest concerns got substantial boost after the G.I. leaders fundraised to pay poll taxes for those who were poor, but willing to vote consequently increasing their political prowess. Currently, G.I. Forum is a nationally recognised organisation focusing on veterans and civilians civil and educational rights. Political life of Mexican Americans Through the American G.I Forums’ efforts, equity between Mexican American and Native Americans became an important issue in the US. Through a gradual proces
