Abstract
This paper discusses the problems with Mexico's economy and the implications of these problems. The paper then focuses on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the implementation of certain global programs by NAFTA that the organization hoped would change the economic situation. It looks at the challenges faced by the programs and by NAFTA in general and how the organization can move forward in the best interests of the Mexican economy.
From the Paper
"Proponents of NAFTA claimed that the agreement would benefit Mexico and lead to a major improvement in the Mexican economy, but this has not happened sufficiently to reduce the flow of workers northward. By any measure, the problem is so ingrained and so acute that it cannot be solved by any one action and cannot be solved rapidly. What is needed is a long-term investment plan to help improve the Mexican economy, but this may not take place so long as American businesses are relying so heavily on low wags in Mexico as a way of cutting costs in the U.S. companies relocating to Mexico have to offer more benefits to Mexican workers to improve the standard of living and keep workers at home. The only way to achieve this would be for the Mexican government to impose certain requirements, and this is not likely to happen because doing so would drive some American companies away and make the employment picture even worse. What is really needed is a major overhaul of the Mexican economy, and that is a long-term project that may have already been started with the change in leadership from the PRI alone to a more competitive political environment, though the evidence for major change is not yet that firm."

Abstract
Mexico is classified as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank and though it is a member of NAFTA, it is still marked with the indelible scar of a developing economy. So, while some successes have seemingly been made, evidenced most prominently by Mexico's participation in NAFTA, there is still a long way to go. This paper will illustrate this sketchy pattern of Mexico's development.

Abstract
This paper examines the downside of immigration in the U.S and focuses on three specific areas: The impact of immigration on the labor market, the use of welfare and the payment of taxes. The writer asserts that while immigration may benefit the country as a whole, the burdens of these new population flows fall unequally on particular communities. This paper also discusses the high Mexican immigration rate in California and the resulting effects on its economy. This paper contains researched facts and statistics as well as relevant expert opinions to back up the writer's claim that immigration impacts negatively on the U.S. economy.
From the Paper
"Education is the key to mobility in the United States and those communities, which cannot provide adequate education will be unable to move their members out of poverty, no matter what cultural solidarities they are able to maintain. Clark suggests that the result of this social immobility could lead to what he calls a "tearing of the social fabric" in multicultural communities. Although the tensions of cultural difference make these communities culturally rich, Clark argues that too much tension could result in balkanization, interethnic violence, and increasing economic stagnation."

Abstract
This paper explains that, by the early 1920s, Mexican Secretary of Education Vasconcelos ensured the creation of an artistic renaissance in which Mexican artists reinterpreted Mexican history in accord with revolutionary principles, locating major works of arts on the walls of public buildings and, thus, making them accessible to the most humble and unlettered of Mexicans. The author points out that Mexico became a destination of choice for Americans and Europeans with a wide variety of leftist views, ranging from liberalism to communism. The paper explores the work of Diego Rivera, unmistakably a major light in the Mexican Muralist Movement, and his wife Frida Kahlo, who was not a muralist, but who retained some of the essential characteristics that defined the Mexican Muralist Movement.

From the Paper
"Others besides Delpar regard this as ?the most fascinating phase of the whole revolutionary movement?.the attempt to readjust the spiritual and cultural background of an entire nation in accordance with the revolutionary changes that the machine age had produced.? Vasconcelos expanded cultural activities widely, including archaeology, ancient history of Mexico, religion, literature, music and the visual arts. Until then, none had ever been developed as integrated parts of the nation?s cultural heritage. The most vital and strongest to emerge, and one that has been uniquely identified with Mexico, is mural painting."

Abstract
This paper examines the sociological history of Mexican Americans from the annexation of Mexico after the Mexican American War to the present. It analyzes the personal accounts of three Mexican Americans from different time periods, and describes the discrimination Mexican Americans have faced throughout their history. The author states that Mexican Americans have been a valuable asset to American society.
From the Paper
"From the time of the annexation of Mexico by the United States until the present day, Mexican Americans have faced severe hardship and discrimination, but their presence in the United States has resulted in a largely positive impact on both the lives of these individuals and the nation as a whole. Many of these individuals came to the United States in search of a better, more prosperous way of life, and a large number of them succeeded in this. At the same time, they have added to the economy and cultural diversity of the United States. The narratives of three typical Mexican Americans living in different time periods, Jes?s Garza, Camelia Palafox, and Mar?a Jim?nez show the obstacles typical Mexican Americans have faced and what reward they have received."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the presence of Mexican immigrants in California, and how they came to play an essential role in the structure of the American society. The author studies the reasons for Mexican immigrants to settle down in California and New Mexico, and how the American economy was influenced by the influx of immigrants; the Mexicans became a source of cheap and strong labor in the gold mining business. The paper also discusses the ways in which the Mexican community assimilated into American culture.
From the Paper
"The fact that the Mexicans came to be more appreciated in terms of financial gains in California rather than in their native land, they decided to establish themselves with their families as well. In this sense, the structure of the society changed as well. More and more Mexicans became part of the American culture and contributed to its definition. The Mexican family played a major role in creating the sense of multiculturalism inside the society. Unlike the traditional way of life of the American family the Mexican family was quite different."

Mexican-American Women in Twentieth-Century America, 2002.
This paper discusses the book "From Out of the Shadows: Mexican Women in Twentieth-Century America," by Dr. Vicki Ruiz, specifically, as it gives voice to Mexican-American women.

Abstract
This paper discusses, from all angles, at home, at work and in the community, Twentieth-Century Mexican-American women, descendents of some of the first immigrants to the United States. The paper reviews Ruiz's book that shows Mexican-America women working for menial wages to help support the family and suffering from stereotypes. The author states that, although often history texts can be dry and lifeless, Ruiz's text comes alive with the voices of the women about whom she writes.
From the Paper
"Each of the causes of change was important and devastating, but probably the most devastating was the discovery of gold in California. Mexican-Americans had long made California their home, and some owned extensive ranchos, but California glittered too brightly, and the United States took the country for its own in 1850. The rancho way of life disappeared, especially when the ranchos belonged to women, which was not unusual in Mexican society. Unlike the U.S., Mexican women could and did own their own property, but their title was not recognized when the U. S. annexed California, and they lost much if not all of their land."

Abstract
The writer of this paper traces the migration of Mexican citizens to America back to the 1920s. For nearly 60 years, Mexico has been the primary source of Latin-American immigrants to America. This paper supplies relevant statistics and data pertaining to this specific topic. Recent census reports state that nearly 50% of America's Latino population was born outside the United States. This paper also delves into the large numbers of illegal immigrants residing in America. In 1995, it was reported that Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the illegal immigrant population residing in America. This paper details the main reasons for the influx of Mexicans into America, including the economic disparities and differences in wage structures between the two countries. Due to the lack of economic opportunity in their country of origin, Mexican citizens continue to migrate to the U.S. in unprecedented numbers.

Reasons of Mexican Immigration to the U.S., Manner of Arrival, Different Experiences They Have to go Through and the Psychological Effects

From the Paper
"It is also important that naturalization rates continue to be low for Mexican immigrants compared to other groups currently. Illegal immigration started to take place from 1965 in a tremendous manner. In 1995, as stated in a report, Mexicans comprised up to 62% of the immigrants who came into U.S. by adopting illegal means. Mexican immigration nevertheless cannot be stopped and coping to exist in harmony might be increasingly intricate. Nearly every year recently, the Border Patrol has prevented approximately 1 million immigrants trying to sneak into U.S. employing unlawful means from Mexico. It is normally anticipated that close to 300,000 cross the borders illegally. In case more than 1 million Mexican soldiers infringed the border, Americans will consider it as a major threat to their national security and swing into action they deem fit."

La Malinche in Mexican History, 2002.
This paper discusses the role of La Malinche in Mexican history.

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth examination of the role that La Malinche played in Mexican history and culture. The author gives the reader an historical overview, including the fact that she was an actual person, whose actions caused her to lose favor in society. This is done through the review and analysis of two pieces of works by historians, one male and one female, Casillo and Paz. The author also points out that La Malinche is not a well-known personality outside of Mexican culture, but her history dates back to the mid-sixteenth century. According to the paper, La Malinche's role in history has been revived by feminists who feel that her tainted past is the result of the chauvinistic nature of Mexican society which has begun to evolve over the years. For many Mexican women she is a symbol of independence and endurance of the Mexican people, and she should be accorded respect and proper recognition in history.
From the Paper
"These many complications and elaborations of this essential and essentializing dichotomy about the true nature of woman can be seen to come together in the character of La Malinche, a figure not well known outside of Mexico (except to those whose families originally came from Mexico). This paper explores the figure of La Malinche, a figure who representations have over the years become at least in general more positive as Mexicans have regained a sense of themselves as a people worthy of self-respect ? and as Mexican women have refused to see themselves as meriting only the role of a traitor condemned to silence."

Mexican Sexual Slavery, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of Mexican sexual slavery in the U.S.
2,008 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the U.S. tends to look at the problems of sexual slavery in Asia and or Russia rather than acknowledge that one of the largest problems of sexual slavery in the world occurs in the US and is mainly comprised of Mexican sex slaves. The writer points out that in almost the entire U.S., prostitution is illegal, as is undocumented immigration. The writer notes however, that current Mexican law has a system of legal prostitution, though prostitution is not legal in certain settings. The writer maintains that the problem then materializes as a divergent acceptable code of conduct between Mexico and the U.S., as Mexico sees problems with prostitution but it remains a legal option for women in a depressed economic climate. The writer concludes that this work brings to light one of the most immediate of human issues, as sexual slavery, and especially with regard to Mexican sexual slavery that is an issue that is in serious need of address by local, state, national and international lawmakers and peoples.
Outline:
Introduction to Problem
Current Laws Regarding Sexual Slavery
US Laws
Mexican Laws
International Laws
Actions Being Taken:
By the U.S.
Actions of Mexico
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Within the US the laws regarding prostitution and those of immigration are decidedly separate. In almost the entire nation prostitution is illegal, as is undocumented immigration. The individual committing the crime of undocumented immigration and or prostitution is penalized for actions, usually by deportation, no matter what the "vocation" or impetus for immigration is. Victims of sexual slavery are then put in a double bind, as their immigrant status is grounds for expulsion from the country and they are also very likely to be charged with prostitution crimes that will likely bar any legitimate entry to the US in the future. Additionally, many of the victims are minors, another issue not addressed by current laws, though moves are currently in place to do so."

Mexican Immigrants, 2002.
Examines the social and financial problems faced by Mexican immigrants to the United States.

Abstract
According to an article in the Chicago Tribune in August of 2002, at the end of the summer of 2001, one of the Bush administration?s major initiatives was amnesty for Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States. This paper examines how the immigration policy has changed since September 11 but the immigration numbers have increased. The paper examines statistics which show how bad Mexican immigrants are faring educationally, socially and financially and that the figures are only getting worse, not improving over time. The paper focuses on Los Angeles as a popular destination for Mexican immigrants and shows how the city has become 'addicted' to this cheap type of labor. The paper also uses as an example, Luis Rodriguez's true account of a poverty stricken life in America as a Mexican immigrant, in his book "Always Running".
From the Paper
"As the nation?s largest destination for immigrants in general and Mexican nationals in particular, Los Angeles needs to prepare quickly to play the piper for the economic benefits of low-income labor, according to two UCLA sociologists. Is this the answer to the poverty stricken Mexican immigrants? Is Los Angeles able to absorb and employ even the least skilled immigrants at a truly impressive rate? It appears just as incapable of offering them a living wage. New immigrants in Urban America indicate serious trouble unless the United State is able to develop the social infrastructure to ensure that the children of today?s unskilled immigrants do considerably better than their parents."

Mexican Immigrants In the United States, 2002.
A look at the history and controversial issue of Mexican immigrants in the United States today.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how many people feel that Mexican immigration laws should be eliminated because much of the land in the U.S. was ?stolen? from the Mexicans. Yet strict immigration laws and violation penalties apply to Mexicans, and those who come to the U.S. are often mistreated and taken advantage of. The paper discusses the history of the Mexican-American War and the social problems faced by immigrants and Americans today.
From the Paper
"In the United States, the English-speaking founders of our nation largely killed off most native inhabitants, while the Spanish-speaking conquerors of Mexico merely defeated and enslaved them. The Native Americans of Latin America, despite the tragic loss of their own cultural traditions, at least survived as they were assimilated into the Hispanic culture. As a result, the Hispanic-American peoples not only represent the Spanish-European culture in America, but they are also the largest body of surviving Native Americans. The Latinos are the only surviving Native Americans."
