VAZQUEZ RUIZ, Miguel Ángel. Undocumented Migration and the Integration of Mexico and the United States. Reasons and Trajectories. Norteamérica [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.2, pp.101-124. ISSN 2448-7228.

As an expression of the specificity of the multidimensional integration of Mexico and the United States, migration has economic causes linked to wage differences, as well as mutual effects. It offers a way out to a significant portion of the Mexican labor force employed at comparatively attractive wages in the United States, which in turn satisfies the demand for labor in certain sectors of the U.S. economy. This mass of workers contributes to producing goods and services in a significant number of U.S. states.

Keywords : Mexico-U.S.; undocumented migration; integration; causes; trajectories.
