This inquiry examines the 20th century history of migration from Mexico to the United States and recent efforts to limit the movement of people across the southern U.S. border. The inquiry takes its inspiration from a 2018 podcast episode by Malcom Gladwell titled, “General Chapman’s Last Stand.” The podcast is part of Gladwell’s Revisionist History series (http://revisionisthistory.com). In the podcast, Gladwell tells the story of General Leonard F. Chapman Jr., Commandant of the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, who went on to serve as the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) from 1972 to 1975. Chapman is credited with reforming the INS into a more efficient and effective agency, but Gladwell argues that Chapman’s efforts also led to an unintentional increase in unauthorized immigrants. In 1970, 760,000 Mexican immigrants, or 1.4% of Mexico’s population, lived in the U.S. By 2008, there were 12.7 million Mexican immigrants in the U.S. which amounted to 11% of all people born in Mexico; an increase of almost 800% in less than 30 years. The question of how and why this happened is the central focus of this inquiry.

Central Ohio is our first stop on our journey around the "Five Ohios." As the fastest growing-and youngest-region of the state. The state capital of Columbus has come a long way from "Cowtown" to metropolis. Its political tilt and population puts it in line with growing Western states. [7:41]
With deep roots in farming and factories, the Northwest region of Ohio is home to key industries and a Midwestern sensibility that any candidate would be wise to speak to. With a historically conservative lean, if candidates do well here, they'll likely also find support in the American heartland. [9:18]
Though population in the NE region of Ohio has been in decline in past decades, it still is home to the most voters in the state. It's also a bastion for Democrats, helping to make or break their chances in Ohio. Its voters reflect the sentiment and makeup of Northeastern America. [9:55]
The Southeast region of Ohio is the largest in area, but the least populated of all the regions. Voters in this Appalachian region retain an independent streak politically, but also an acute memory of their history with the energy industry and failed political promises. [9:04]
Of all the swing regions, Southwest Ohio might be the tipping point for most candidates looking to win the state. Serving as a bastion for conservative voters, it's a must-win for any Republican. With its southern exposure, the Southwest region typifies the non-rural southern United States. [9:55]
Presidential election history shows that third parties have had some success in Ohio, but none have ever won the state. Meanwhile, migration and shifting demographics in the United States may alter Ohio's electoral importance. For now, though, the nation still goes as Ohio goes. [3:27]
