Chronicles of Power and Revolt

Mexico sends more migrant workers across its borders than any other country in the world. Almost 500,000 undocumented Mexicans emigrate to the United States every year, most of them crossing the border to seek employment in the agriculture, construction and service industries. In response, policy propositions—such as building higher walls along the border, expanding guest worker programs, and even deporting all 12 million undocumented workers—have missed the primary root cause of the issue: the economic displacement of those workers in Mexico.
