- catalog abstract "The United States and Mexico are becoming increasingly interdependent--economically, politically, and socially--and nowhere is this linkage more marked than in the labor market. At least 10 percent of the growth of the U.S. labor supply in recent years has come from Mexican migrants, with the result that Mexican workers have a far greater impact on the U.S. economy than U.S.-Mexico trade or direct Mexican investment. Important as their influence is on the U.S. economy, on the Mexican economy it is even greater: native Mexicans working in the United States represent fully a fifth of the total Mexican workforce, and immigrant remittances to Mexico are as substantial as the proceeds from most exports. The 19 papers in the present volume, the product of extensive collaboration between Mexican and U.S. scholars, describe the structures of labor markets in the United States and Mexico, the framework of U.S. immigration policy, and the probable future evolution of both. The papers address such questions as: What determines the pattern of labor supply and demand on both sides of the border? Where do migrants come from and where do they go? How is labor market linkage tied to other areas of the binational relationship, such as financial/debt relations? What are the effects of migration on specific sending and receiving communities and for each society as a whole? The papers explore the reasons for past and present immigration policies from the perspective of both countries, with special attention given to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). They seek to determine why IRCA occurred when it did and whether current IRCA policy properly distributes costs and benefits. The papers also question whether IRCA is an aberration or whether it reflects a series of economic, sociopolitical, and institutional interests within a geopolitical context. The book concludes by setting out in detail likely changes in U.S immigration policy. This is one of several volumes sponsored by the Project on North American relations in the continuing series U.S.- Mexico relations.".
