Mexican Migration to the United States and Its Impact on the Bilateral Relationship

In this universe, Mexican migration to the United States is distinguished from other flows by its eminently economic-labour nature and has its origin in the asymmetry between the levels of development of one country and another, in the growing interdependence of their economies and in a increasing integration of their labor markets. As a priority issue on the bilateral agenda, migration is imbued with that potential for conflict and tension that, despite the new spirit of cooperation, is always latent in a relationship as complex and intense as the one between Mexico and the United States. In many ways, migration has become a true litmus test that will measure the political will and the capacity of both governments to work together in the search for formulas to confront and learn to manage a problem that stands out for its political, economic and , social and human.
