Para este fin se examina el impacto de la iniciativa de la Ley de Seguridad Fronteriza, Oportunidad Económica y Modernización de la Inmigración, aprobada por el Senado de Estados Unidos en 2013. El análisis de los datos de la American Community Survey sugiere que los trabajadores mexicanos calificados no serían los inmigrantes más beneficiados por esta iniciativa de ley, dadas las características sociodemográficas y migratorias de los que ya residen en Estados Unidos.]]></p></abstract>
