About one in ten Mexican citizens, 12m in total, live in America, half of them illegally. This makes for the biggest immigrant community in the world. In 2000, the peak year, more than 750,000 Mexicans crossed the border. The flow has gone into reverse because the rewards for going north have diminished and the risks have increased. Mexicans emigrate for jobs, and there are fewer of them available than there used to be. In 2000 unemployment in the United States was around 4%; it is double that now, and almost double Mexico's rate. The construction industry in the United States, in which many migrants toil, has been especially badly hit. Migrants are also missing out because Americans are eating out less, cleaning their own homes and firing their gardeners. Deportations have increased, to about 300,000 a year. But now even those who have been turfed out are lukewarm about going back. In past surveys by Pew, about eight out of ten of them said they would try to return as soon as possible. Now it is six out of ten. At the same time getting into the United States has become much harder. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
