Mexico-U.S. Migration Management A Binational Approach

This book brings together a team of top Mexican and American policy-oriented migration experts who provide up-to-date analysis that leads to grounded policy recommendations for both governments. Contributors assess the main characteristics, trends, and factors influencing Mexico-U.S. migration and recommend actions that should improve migration management, substantially reduce undocumented flows, and refocus Mexican migration into legal channels. The book shows that collaboration between the United States and Mexico is not only possible, it is necessary, as unilateral reforms will continue to fail until both governments act together to regulate the flow, improve conditions for the migrants, and make sure that migration has positive social and economic impacts on both countries.
