Beyond Borders: A History of Mexican Migration to the United States
details the origins and evolution of the movement of people from Mexico
into the United States from the first significant flow across the border
at the turn of the 20th century up to the present day.
- Considers the issues from the perspectives of both the United States
and Mexico.
- Offers a reasoned assessment of the factors that drive Mexican
immigration, explains why so many of the policies enacted in
Washington have only worsened the problem, and suggests what policy
options might prove more effective.
- Argues that the problem of Mexican immigration can only be solved if
Mexico and the United States work together to reduce the
disequilibrium that propels Mexican immigrants to the United States.
