- Immigration laws at the beginning of the 20th century made it much easier for Punjabi men (who were valued as physical laborers) than for Punjabi women or children to enter the United States. As a result, many Punjabi farmers left their families behind in India, intending to spend only a few years earning money in California before returning home to their families. When they found themselves becoming more successful in their new home than they had expected, they began wanting to bring their families to California to live here permanently, but they soon found that it was impossible for their wives and children to gain entry to the United States. This caused considerable heartbreak, and many immigrant men remained here alone, often living in large, all-male groups in dormitory-style bunkhouses. Laws prohibiting interracial marriage punished Punjabi men who married white women. Marriages between Punjabi men and ["Latin-American Community" Mexican-American] women were also officially banned, but these were frequently not punished, with authorities listing the couples' races on their marriage registry as simply "brown" so that the marriages appeared not to be interracial.[[FootNote([http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/SSEAL/echoes/chapter9/chapter9.html Echoes of Freedom: South Asian Pioneers in California, 1899-1965, Chapter 9], from the University of California, Berkeley.)]]	+ Immigration laws at the beginning of the 20th century made it much easier for Punjabi men (who were valued as physical laborers) than for Punjabi women or children to enter the United States.
