Abstract

SCHMIDT, Samuel. Emigration from Mexico to the United States: Love from Afar. Norteamérica [online]. 2008, vol.3, n.2, pp.91-121. ISSN 2448-7228.

This article maintains that migration is a structural phenomenon. It argues that the United States does not recognize itself as a party to creating impoverishment and that its recognition would lead to a solution; on the contrary, the U.S. criminalizes immigrants’ labor and tries to seal the border. The author maintains that military and police measures to stop migratory flows are not viable and presents a series of recommendations to deal with migration.

Keywords : immigration law; criminalization of labor; migration debate.
