There is a rapidly growing Mexican-American population in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. ==History== Sol Villasana, the author of ''Dallas's Little Mexico'', wrote that "Mexicans have been part of Dallas since its beginning."〔Villasana, p. (7 ).〕 In the 1870s the first significant groups of Mexicans came to Dallas as railroad lines were constructed. Additional Mexicans settled Dallas as a result of the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910.〔 According to the 1920 U.S. Census, 3,378 Mexicans lived in Dallas.〔Brettell, p. (56 ).〕 In the early 20th century, wealthier Mexicans lived in Little Mexico and in the historical red-light area of Dallas north of Downtown, while less wealthy immigrants lived along railroad yards.〔 Caroline B. Brettell, author of '"Big D" Incorporating New Immigrants in a Sunbelt Suburban Metropolis,' wrote that as of 1920 the majority of Dallas's Mexicans "were living in atrocious conditions."〔 After World War II Little Mexico began to disintegrate.〔Villasana, p. (8 ).〕 In 2009 the City of Dallas began pursuing an ''EB-5'' investment program, attracting wealthier Mexicans. By 2012 there was a wave of wealthy Mexican immigration, due to the program, the proximity and access of Mexico to North Texas, and the violence of the Mexican drug war.〔Corchado, Alfredo.
