The Migration of Mexican Nationals into the United States: a Mounting Issue for the 1970\u27s

Legal migration from Mexico is an important but not significant migration factor; it far exceeded in both number and consequences by illegal entry. With respect to the quantitative impact of illegal Mexican entry, it is informative to note that, from 1939 to 1973, approximately 9 million persons immigrated to the United States from all of the countries of the world. During the same time period, more than 9 million illegal Mexican aliens were apprehended and deported to Mexico. As for the consequences, it can be noted that most illegal Mexican Nationals enter the United States economy as workers whereas almost half of the legal Mexican immigrants are dependents. This paper seeks to describe some of the characteristics of this mass migration movement and to highlight some of the implications.Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resource
