This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the United States in the twentieth century is inextricably entwined with that of people of Mexican origin. The twenty million Mexicans and Mexican Americans living in the U.S. today are predominantly a product of post-1900 growth, and their numbers give them an increasingly meaningful voice in the political process. Oscar J. Martínez here recounts the struggle of a people who have scraped and grappled to make a place for themselves in the American mainstream. Focusing on social, economic, and political change during the twentieth century—particularly in the American West—Martínez provides a survey of long-term trends among Mexican Americans and shows that many of the difficult conditions they have experienced have changed decidedly for the better. Organized thematically, the book addresses population dynamics, immigration, interaction with the mainstream, assimilation into the labor force, and growth of the Mexican American middle class. Martínez then examines the various forms by which people of Mexican descent have expressed themselves politically: becoming involved in community organizations, participating as voters, and standing for elective office. Finally he summarizes salient historical points and offers reflections on issues of future significance. Where appropriate, he considers the unique circumstances that distinguish the experiences of Mexican Americans from those of other ethnic groups. By the year 2000, significant numbers of people of Mexican origin had penetrated the middle class and had achieved unprecedented levels of power and influence in American society; at the same time, many problems remain unsolved, and the masses face new challenges created by the increasingly globalized U.S. economy. This concise overview of Mexican-origin people puts these successes and challenges in perspective and defines their contribution to the shaping of modern America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over restricting the number of Mexican immigrants to the United States began early in the twentieth century, a time when U.S.-Mexican relations were still tenuous following the Mexican Revolution and when heated conflicts over mineral rights, primarily oil, were raging between the two nations. Though Mexico had economic reasons for curbing emigration, the racist tone of the quota debate taking place in the United States offended Mexicans’ national pride and played a large part in obstructing mutual support for immigration restriction between the United States and Mexico. Risking Immeasurable Harm explains how the prospect of immigration restriction affects diplomatic relations by analyzing U.S. efforts to place a quota on immigration from Mexico during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The controversial quota raised important questions about how domestic immigration policy debates had international consequences, primarily how the racist justifications for immigration restriction threatened to undermine U.S. relations with Mexico. Benjamin C. Montoya follows the quota debate from its origin in 1924, spurred by the passage of the Immigration Act, to its conclusion in 1932. He examines congressional policy debate and the U.S. State Department’s steady opposition to the quota scheme. Despite the concerns of American diplomats, in 1930 the Senate passed the Harris Bill, which singled out Mexico among all other Latin American nations for immigration restriction. The lingering effects of the quota debates continued to strain diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico beyond the Great Depression. Relevant to current debates about immigration and the role of restrictions in inter-American diplomacy, Risking Immeasurable Harm demonstrates the correlation of immigration restriction and diplomacy, the ways racism can affect diplomatic relations, and how domestic immigration policy can have international consequences.
Book Synopsis Mexican Immigration to the United States by : George J. Borjas
Download or read book Mexican Immigration to the United States written by George J. Borjas and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From debates on Capitol Hill to the popular media, Mexican immigrants are the subject of widespread controversy. By 2003, their growing numbers accounted for 28.3 percent of all foreign-born inhabitants of the United States. Mexican Immigration to the United States analyzes the astonishing economic impact of this historically unprecedented exodus. Why do Mexican immigrants gain citizenship and employment at a slower rate than non-Mexicans? Does their migration to the U.S. adversely affect the working conditions of lower-skilled workers already residing there? And how rapid is the intergenerational mobility among Mexican immigrant families? This authoritative volume provides a historical context for Mexican immigration to the U.S. and reports new findings on an immigrant influx whose size and character will force us to rethink economic policy for decades to come. Mexican Immigration to the United States will be necessary reading for anyone concerned about social conditions and economic opportunities in both countries.
Download or read book Mexican Exodus written by Julia G. Young and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1926, an army of Mexican Catholics launched a war against their government. Bearing aloft the banners of Christ the King and the Virgin of Guadalupe, they equipped themselves not only with guns, but also with scapulars, rosaries, prayers, and religious visions. These soldiers were called cristeros, and the war they fought, which would continue until the mid-1930s, is known as la Cristiada, or the Cristero war. The most intense fighting occurred in Mexico's west-central states, especially Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Michoac n. For this reason, scholars have generally regarded the war as a regional event, albeit one with national implications. Yet in fact, the Cristero war crossed the border into the United States, along with thousands of Mexican emigrants, exiles, and refugees. In Mexican Exodus, Julia Young reframes the Cristero war as a transnational conflict, using previously unexamined archival materials from both Mexico and the United States to investigate the intersections between Mexico's Cristero War and Mexican migration to the United States during the late 1920s. She traces the formation, actions, and ideologies of the Cristero diaspora--a network of Mexicans across the United States who supported the Catholic uprising from beyond the border. These Cristero supporters participated in the conflict in a variety of ways: they took part in religious ceremonies and spectacles, organized political demonstrations and marches, formed associations and organizations, and collaborated with religious and political leaders on both sides of the border. Some of them even launched militant efforts that included arms smuggling, military recruitment, espionage, and armed border revolts. Ultimately, the Cristero diaspora aimed to overturn Mexico's anticlerical government and reform the Mexican Constitution of 1917. Although the group was unable to achieve its political goals, Young argues that these emigrants--and the war itself--would have a profound and enduring resonance for Mexican emigrants, impacting community formation, political affiliations, and religious devotion throughout subsequent decades and up to the present day.
Download or read book On the Move written by Filiz Garip and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do Mexicans migrate to the United States? Is there a typical Mexican migrant? Beginning in the 1970s, survey data indicated that the average migrant was a young, unmarried man who was poor, undereducated, and in search of better employment opportunities. This is the general view that most Americans still hold of immigrants from Mexico. On the Move argues that not only does this view of Mexican migrants reinforce the stereotype of their undesirability, but it also fails to capture the true diversity of migrants from Mexico and their evolving migration patterns over time. Using survey data from over 145,000 Mexicans and in-depth interviews with nearly 140 Mexicans, Filiz Garip reveals a more accurate picture of Mexico-U.S migration. In the last fifty years there have been four primary waves: a male-dominated migration from rural areas in the 1960s and '70s, a second migration of young men from socioeconomically more well-off families during the 1980s, a migration of women joining spouses already in the United States in the late 1980s and ’90s, and a generation of more educated, urban migrants in the late 1990s and early 2000s. For each of these four stages, Garip examines the changing variety of reasons for why people migrate and migrants’ perceptions of their opportunities in Mexico and the United States. Looking at Mexico-U.S. migration during the last half century, On the Move uncovers the vast mechanisms underlying the flow of people moving between nations.
Book Synopsis Beyond Smoke and Mirrors by : Douglas S. Massey
Download or read book Beyond Smoke and Mirrors written by Douglas S. Massey and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration between Mexico and the United States is part of a historical process of increasing North American integration. This process acquired new momentum with the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994, which lowered barriers to the movement of goods, capital, services, and information. But rather than include labor in this new regime, the United States continues to resist the integration of the labor markets of the two countries. Instead of easing restrictions on Mexican labor, the United States has militarized its border and adopted restrictive new policies of immigrant disenfranchisement. Beyond Smoke and Mirrors examines the devastating impact of these immigration policies on the social and economic fabric of the Mexico and the United States, and calls for a sweeping reform of the current system. Beyond Smoke and Mirrors shows how U.S. immigration policies enacted between 1986–1996—largely for symbolic domestic political purposes—harm the interests of Mexico, the United States, and the people who migrate between them. The costs have been high. The book documents how the massive expansion of border enforcement has wasted billions of dollars and hundreds of lives, yet has not deterred increasing numbers of undocumented immigrants from heading north. The authors also show how the new policies unleashed a host of unintended consequences: a shift away from seasonal, circular migration toward permanent settlement; the creation of a black market for Mexican labor; the transformation of Mexican immigration from a regional phenomenon into a broad social movement touching every region of the country; and even the lowering of wages for legal U.S. residents. What had been a relatively open and benign labor process before 1986 was transformed into an exploitative underground system of labor coercion, one that lowered wages and working conditions of undocumented migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens alike. Beyond Smoke and Mirrors offers specific proposals for repairing the damage. Rather than denying the reality of labor migration, the authors recommend regularizing it and working to manage it so as to promote economic development in Mexico, minimize costs and disruptions for the United States, and maximize benefits for all concerned. This book provides an essential "user's manual" for readers seeking a historical, theoretical, and substantive understanding of how U.S. policy on Mexican immigration evolved to its current dysfunctional state, as well as how it might be fixed.

Book Synopsis The Changing Patterns of Labor Migration and the Incorporation of Mexican Immigrants to the United States by : James D. Bachmeier
Download or read book The Changing Patterns of Labor Migration and the Incorporation of Mexican Immigrants to the United States written by James D. Bachmeier and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines patterns of Mexican immigration and the socioeconomic integration of the Mexican-origin population in the United States. Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the major themes dominating current academic and policy discussions related to contemporary immigration in the United States; explains the particular importance of the U.S. Mexican-origin population to these debates; and introduces the research questions motivating the substantive chapters of the dissertation. Chapter 2 studies Mexican immigration flows arriving in U.S. metropolitan areas between 1995 and 2000. I develop a destination-specific theory of international labor migration based on the principle of cumulative causation, and apply the theory to analyses of the volume and demographic composition of recent Mexican migration flows. I also develop a new measure approximating the "maturity" of the ethnic-specific structures and institutions in urban destination areas, arguing that characteristics of the co-ethnic receiving community plays a pivotal role in shaping patterns of immigration into these areas. Results of the analysis reveal that across U.S. metropolitan areas those that received relatively larger flows between 1985 and 1990 received relatively larger flows subsequently. Net of the volume of the prior Mexican migration flow, however, places with more mature co-ethnic receiving communities received smaller immigration flows between 1995 and 2000 than did places where Mexican immigrant communities are less established. Moreover, the rate of increase in the 1995-2000 immigration volume that is associated with the prior volume declines with increasing co-ethnic settlement maturity. Furthermore, results indicate that local labor market conditions such as wage and unemployment rates drive the Mexican immigration volume to a considerable extent in newer receiving areas, but do not explain any of the variance in the immigration rate in more established receiving areas. Finally, the demographic diversity of Mexican immigration flows is driven largely by the maturity of the co-ethnic receiving area rather than by the volume of the previous migration flow. To conclude Chapter 2, I discuss the theoretical and policy implications of the findings. Chapter 3 builds on the ideas developed and tested in Chapter 2 and examines the extent to which Mexican immigrants' labor market outcomes in urban areas are shaped by the destination-specific dynamics that also structure the volume and nature of Mexican migration. The main analytical objective of the chapter is to examine whether and to what extent the negative impacts of immigration on the labor market outcomes of Mexican workers vary depending on the maturity of the co-ethnic receiving community. The results of the chapter suggest that the volume of Mexican immigration is not significantly associated with the likelihood of experiencing unemployment for men or women. However, the earnings of Mexican workers in urban labor markets are significantly related to the volume of prior Mexican immigration, but the direction of the association depends on the gender of the worker. Male earnings are negatively associated with the volume of migration from 1995-2000. But this effect varies depending on the level of co-ethnic settlement maturity in the local area. Male earnings are most negatively affected by immigration in those areas that have the longest history of receiving Mexican immigrants and the most developed ethnic-specific structures and institutions. But in newly emerging Mexican immigrant destinations, earnings are positively associated with increased immigration. Female earnings are positively related to the volume of prior immigration but interaction effects based on the maturity of the co-ethnic settlement community are similar, though of smaller magnitude, compared to men. The research and theoretical as well as public policy implications of the findings are discussed in the chapter's conclusion. Finally, the focus of Chapter 4 shifts away from 1st generation Mexican immigrants and examines the mechanisms associated with dropping out of high school among their children and grandchildren. The analyses reported in this chapter find that Mexican-origin youth exhibit distinctive patterns of school enrollment in that their enrollment in school depends to a greater extent on their participation in the workforce, and vice-versa, than is the case for U.S.-born white and black youth. This is especially the case among Mexican-origin boys. Implications of the findings for research and theory on immigrant group incorporation and for public policy are discussed. Chapter 5 discusses the broad implications of the results for public policy and theory and research related to U.S. immigration and immigrant incorporation.
