Mexican Migration

Mexican migration to the United States takes a big impact involving two companies and takes place at specific times for good or bad of both. Manly, this phenomenon takes place because the immigrants are in search for a better job and higher pay as well. I decided to choose this topic because it represents a huge problem, the main topic to be discussed by heads of government of both countries is migration. Migration and over the years, Mexico has experienced the loss of the most important tool that counts; we refer to people with age, ability and desire to get a job to meet the needs of their families. Another important consequence of migration is the disintegration of families. Initially migration is considered as a temporary alternative
to improve the level and quality of life of people, but generally stay the parent ever lasts longer causing the children come to feel loneliness or abandonment migrants. And also by the lack of attention and care of parents could lead to big problems in children because they can orient them toward drug additions, alcoholism or vandalism. United States of America is the country where most Mexicans living outside Mexico and at the same time the country where the largest community of Spanish speakers living in the United States.
Mexican communities exist in all states of the America but stresses its presence in California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Washington. “Living and working in Spanish-speaking communities does not differ fundamentally from the social patterns followed by German, Dutch, Italian and Polish immigrants in earlier US history.” (Masterson, Daniel M., and George J. Borjas, 214) The movement of Mexicans to the United States began in the last century when part of the territory of Mexico became a possession of the United States by historical circumstances this is not the place to review. It is a fact is that suddenly moves the border to the south and Mexico stays with its current territory. Physically, the border is nonexistent at that time and Mexicans do not find any obstacle to move to the neighboring country; especially from the network of roads in Mexico expands, people can move relatively
easily. The 1929 crisis led to emerge and some groups that proposed restrictions on immigration were developed and therefore opposed the use of Mexican labor, arguing that Mexicans in positions that should correspond to US citizens weighed down by rising unemployment. The US government then found to blame for at least part of the crisis and organized mass deportations of Mexicans. This coincided with the policy of the Mexican government over the countryside and farmers, as were the boom years of land distribution. When the United States entered World War II signed an agreement with Mexico. Whereby Mexican workers could enter the United States temporarily in order to meet the American workers. While the United States has encouraged greater trade, investment and political ties with Mexico, he has tried in vain to stem the flow of labor across the border. Beginning with the drastic measures taken against illegal immigration in the mid-eighties, the US government has imposed heavy regulations on American employers and dramatically increased spending on border patrol. Despite these aggressive efforts, the US border policy has failed to stop the flow of undocumented workers entering the labor market in the United States. Almost 8 million people live in the US without legal documents, and every year the number increases by an estimated 250,000, as more people enter the country or remain after their visas. More than half the immigrants entering and already here come from Mexico. A tragic consequence of police suppression has been the diversion of migration flows of a few points more traditional and urban spread-to the frustration of the residents of these places and mortal danger of immigrants rural step. Before these crackdowns, the vast majority of Mexicans entered through three urban gates: San Diego, California, and El Paso and Laredo in Texas. In response to the new border enforcement of the Clinton administration in 1993, migration patterns shifted to remote, such as the border between Mexico and Arizona rural areas, where patrols are more scattered but conditions are more dangerous. US immigration laws collide with economic reality, and the latter is winning the battle. Immigration from Mexico is driven by a fundamental disparity between the growing demand for low-skilled labor in the United States and declining domestic demand to fill these jobs. Meanwhile, the supply of US workers willing to perform such tasks continues to fall, partly due to an aging workforce and increased educational levels. For 2010, the average age of the American worker is 40.6 years, while the proportion of adult men natives without continuous plummeting college degree: more than half in 1960 to less than 10% today. It is understood that older and educated Americans have better things to do with their work while washing windows, be waiters or work in laundries. Mexican immigrants provide a ready resource to fill that gap. Still, immigration law does not provide a legal channel through which low-skilled immigrant workers can enter the United States to meet demand. The predictable result is illegal immigration and all the pathologies of the black market that come with it. Immigration remains the most obvious piece of unfinished business between the US and Mexico, for their relations in other aspects have progressed dramatically in recent years. Rather than keeping immigration levels constant over time, the U.S. economy would benefit from increasing immigration levels during times of economic expansion, and decreasing levels during times of contraction. Even if Congress retained a multiyear cap on immigration levels, the U.S. economy would benefit from a system that allowed the number of visas to fluctuate annually, thereby maximizing the productive contribution of foreign labor. (Hanson, Gordon H, 6). The most obvious result of the Mexican opening has been the continuing economic integration with the United States. Mexico is now the second largest trading partner of the United States, exceeded only by Canada and the flow of foreign direct investment between our countries has grown as fast as trade. The number of Mexicans crossing the border, mostly as temporary visitors, has constantly increased. The movement of goods, services, capital and people has been facilitated by improvements in the infrastructure of roads, airports and telecommunications. In addition, economic reforms have paved the way for political reforms. The big exception to this trend has been immigration policy. While promoted closer trade, investment and political ties with Mexico, the US government has worked in vain to keep a brake on labor flow coming through the border. From the eighties, in their efforts to stop illegal immigration, the US government has imposed new and burdensome regulations on American employers and dramatically increased spending on border control. However, despite their aggressive efforts, the US border policy has failed in its main objective: stop the flow of undocumented workers to its labor market. The presence of a large undocumented workforce creates political and economic on both sides of the border problems.
For the United States the presence of so many undocumented workers is a black market in labor, with all that implies as smuggling, fraudulent documents, wage distortions and abuses that accompany it. He also faces common sensibilities about obeying the law and control of our borders, besides complicating the US government war against terrorism after September 11. For Mexico, the denial of legal status means that millions of Mexican citizens live in a legal netherworld without all the protections and vulnerable to abuse by employers and illegal traffickers. More than 300 Mexicans die every year trying to illegally cross the border in remote locations. “Since 2000 the illegal population has been growing by a half-million illegal immigrants a year nearly 1,400 people a day, according to the Census Bureau and other sources. “ (Katel
