In his compelling piece, "Living in a Promiseland? Mexican Immigration and American Obligations," Rogers Smith argues that the greater the degree to which the U.S. has coercively constituted the identities of non-citizens in ways that have made having certain relationships to America fundamental to their capacities to lead free and meaningful lives, the greater the obligations the U.S. has to facilitate those relationships. Over the last hundred years, many rural communities in Mexico have been constituted more by U.S. immigration policy and the labor demands of U.S. employers than by similar policies and economic factors in Mexico. According to Smith, this means that Mexicans may be owed "special access" to American residency and citizenship, ahead of the residents of countries less affected by U.S. policies, and in ways that should justify leniency toward undocumented Mexican immigrants.

This article examines the processes by which Indian and Mexican engineers and scientists find employment in the high-technology companies of Silicon Valley. The quantitative and qualitative data used in this study come from the U.S. Census (1990 Public Use Microdata Samples) and from 20 case studies of Indian and Mexican professionals. There is a much larger concentration of foreign-born engineers and scientists in Silicon Valley than in other high-technology regions of the United States. These immigrants play a crucial role in this knowledge-based industry because they have much higher levels of education than their native counterparts. The recruitment and hiring of these workers underscore the importance of the operation of social networks. They either worked for subsidiaries of U.S. companies located abroad or were students at U.S. universities. Some others entered the country as children of immigrant families or are "high-tech braceros," that is, temporary workers holding nonimmigrant visas.

In addition to migrants detained during illegal border crossings, the U.S. government today deports a growing number of Mexican citizens captured there, who are classified as criminals. The objective of this article is to analyze the causes of deportation that 3 457 repatriated men cited when receiving the services of the House of the Migrant in Tijuana in 2010. This article s findings show that most of the migrants were deported because they had committed traffic violations or offenses involving the consumption of alcohol and drugs or domestic violence. ; El gobierno de Estados Unidos, además de a los migrantes detenidos en el cruce fronterizo ilegal, deporta en la actualidad a un número creciente de ciudadanos mexicanos que son capturados en el interior de aquel país, a quienes se les califica de criminales. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las causas de deportación que mencionaron 3 457 varones repatriados, atendidos en la Casa del Migrante de Tijuana en 2010. Los hallazgos muestran que la mayor parte de los migrantes fueron deportados porque habían cometido infracciones de tránsito y delitos relacionados con el consumo de alcohol y drogas, así como violencia doméstica.

En este artículo se analizan los factores legislativos, sociales y económicos que explican por qué un alto número de ciudadanos mexicanos han sido deportados formalmente de Estados Unidos bajo la acusación de conducir un vehículo bajo la influencia del alcohol. Para este fin, se analiza la transformación de la política de inmigración de Estados Unidos para examinar, a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas, los procesos de deportación de 23 hombres mexicanos que fueron expulsados a Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México acusados de este delito en 2019. Los hallazgos revelan que los entrevistados tenían distintos niveles de consumo de alcohol y que la mayoría había iniciado dicha práctica en ese país. Se evidencia el papel protagónico de ofíciales de policías locales que actúan como "policías de inmigración" y el que a mayor tiempo de residencia de los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos mayor es la propensión a tener comportamientos de riesgo como el abuso del alcohol.

"Making Los Angeles Home examines the different integration strategies implemented by Mexican immigrants in the Los Angeles region. Relying on statistical data and ethnographic information, the authors analyze four different dimensions of the immigrant integration process (economic, social, cultural, and political) and show that there is no single path for its achievement, but instead an array of strategies that yield different results. However, their analysis also shows that immigrants' successful integration essentially depends upon their legal status and long residence in the region. The book shows that, despite this finding, immigrants nevertheless decide to settle in Los Angeles, the place where they have made their homes"--Provided by publisher
