"Ex Mex: From Migrants to Immigrants"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines and discusses "Ex Mex: From Migrants to Immigrants," written by Jorge Castaneda, former Mexico secretary of foreign affairs. The paper briefly describes the history of Mexican migration and the US response to it. It describes the purpose of the book, according to the author and the views that he portrays in it.

From the Paper:

"Mexico has to get into this game, as well, in developing a framework of an overall agreement that consists of legalization, expanded provisional labor programs, and border security and border development on both sides. Otherwise, it could be politically indefensible in Mexico. Whereas Mexico's nationalist leadership argues that the Mexican constitution does not allow a limit on freedom of movement, Castaneda replies that Mexico's Federal Population Law necessitates that people leave the country with correct papers from both Mexico and the country to which they are going, and through designated points of entrance/egress."
