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 twentieth
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
