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.

Rezensionen
"Well researched and documented. Very readable narrative. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic levels/libraries." (Choice, 1 December 2011)"Given all the ranting over Mexican immigration - on bothsides of the issue - it's like a breath of farm-freshair in fall to have a book that quietly and concisely explains howwe got here."
Sam Quinones, author of Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream:True Tales of Mexican Migration

"Beyond Borders delivers on its title by synthesizing acomplex binational history. Highly readable, it is an excellentresource for students, policymakers, and anyone interested inbetter understanding a process that is profoundly important forboth the United States and Mexico."
