Princeton University’s Douglas S. Massey is a seasoned observer of migration trends, particularly relating to Mexicans. He’s written a clear-eyed analysis of not only Mexican immigration, but places it in the broader context of the U.S.-Mexico relationship. While not an essay for the blind who will not see, it’s an empirically-grounded analysis which you should consume in its entirety.
