Mexican Families & United States Immigration Reform, Bernard Trujillo Jan 2010

Mexican Families & United States Immigration Reform, Bernard Trujillo

Law Faculty Publications

This essay argues that we should understand U.S. immigration policy as a series of bi-national relationships rather than as a single, user-indifferent interface. Applying this regulatory approach to Mexican labor migration (i) allows a more accurate definition of the migrating person in the context of the family he seeks to support; and (ii) highlights the United States' duty to provide for Mexican families.
