There has been growing concern that Mexican immigration to California has reached a crisis, with immigrants taking jobs from native-born workers, using public services for which they have not paid, and living in isolation from U.S. society. This report assesses the current situation of Mexican immigrants in California and projects future possibilities. The authors constructed a demographic profile of the immigrants, examined their economic effects on the state, and described their socioeconomic integration into California society. They developed models of both the immigration and integration processes, and then used the models to project future immigration flows. The report's major conclusion is that the widespread concerns about Mexican immigration are generally unfounded: Mexican immigrants differ in their characteristics and their effects on the state; they provide economic benefits to the state, and U.S.-born Latinos may bear the brunt of competition for low-skill jobs; immigrants contribute more to public revenues than they consume in public services, but produce a net deficit in educational expenditures; and they are following the classic pattern for integrating into U.S. society, with education playing a critical role in this process.

"In this book, Mireya Loza sheds new light on the history of the Bracero Program (1942-1964), the binational agreement between the United States and Mexico that allowed hundreds of thousands of male Mexican workers to enter this country on temporary work permits. While this program and the issue of temporary workers has long been politicized on both sides of the border, Loza argues that the prevailing romanticized image of braceros as a family-oriented, productive, legal workforce has obscured the real, diverse experiences of the workers themselves. Focusing on underexplored aspects of workers' lives such as their transnational union organizing efforts, the sexual economies of both gay and straight workers, and the ethno-racial boundaries among Mexican indigenous braceros, Loza reveals how these men defied perceived political, sexual, and racial norms. Basing her work on an archive of more than 800 oral histories from the United States and Mexico, Loza is the first scholar to carefully differentiate between the experiences of Spanish-speaking guest workers and the many Mixtec, Zapotec, Purhepecha, and Mayan laborers. In doing so, she demonstrates how these transnational workers were able to forge new identities in the face of intense discrimination and exploitation"--

Certaines logiques de migration internationale de travail s’apparen­tent de plus en plus à des logiques de circulation – l’émigration ne se déclinant plus en termes de rupture ou de nouveau départ. Aujourd’hui, les liens maintenus de part et d’autre de l’espace migratoire, le va-et-vient des personnes, l’échange de biens et d’idées constituent un système migratoire dynamique dans lequel le mouvement se perpétue selon des lois qui lui sont propres. La circulation migratoire entre le Mexique et les Etats-Unis en est sans doute l’exemple le plus manifeste, et l’incessante activité à la frontière entre les deux pays en témoigne au quotidien. La traditionnelle image du paysan mexicain traversant le Rio Grande pour rejoindre une grande ville des Etats-Unis ne recouvre que très partiellement la réalité ; celle du norteño revenant régulièrement au pays ou celle des familles acheminant des marchandises pour des proches à l’étranger peuvent aujourd’hui l’accompagner. Mais comment s’organisent ces mobilités de personnes et de biens ? Quel est le rôle des individus et des réseaux sociaux dans la mise en place et le maintien des logiques du mouvement ? Plus largement, quels peuvent être les impacts de ces mises en relation multiformes pour les sociétés et les territoires qu’elles traversent ? C’est à de telles questions que s’attache l’auteur en proposant ici une lecture socio-spatiale du système migratoire mexicain. Analysant les stratégies mises en place par les migrants, il révèle les différentes étapes du processus migratoire et les logiques d’investissement dédoublé des individus dans les lieux de départ et d’installation. En s’intéressant à des espaces de vie complexifiés à la fois par le mouvement et par des situations de multiculturalisme, l’étude offre une réflexion sur la façon dont les logiques transnationales de mobilité produisent des formes spécifiques de rapport au territoire.

Ésta es una macrohistoria de México, desde la perspectiva de los extranjeros que inmigraron al país y de los mexicanos que emigraron de él, basada mayormente en fuentes primarias impresas, fuentes inéditas y monografías. En el segundo volumen, ya establecida la libertad de cultos, se abre una atmósfera liberal que disminuye el problema de escoger entre inmigrantes sajones y latinos. Entre los primeros sobresale la colonización mormona; entre los segundos, la italiana. El tradicional recelo frente a los estadunidenses transforma la xenofilia en xenofobia. Además, la creciente salida de braceros a Estados Unidos confirma que México es un país de emigración y no de inmigración.
