Battlefield: El Paso
Massey, Douglas S.
The National Interest, July/August 2009, #102, pp44-51
"Over the past two decades, America has witnessed a dramatic upsurge in illegal immigration mostly from Mexico. But this is a problem of our own making. Workers previously labeled immigrants became illegal. The border was fortified. And now many migrants have permanently settled here rather than returning home. A more laissez-faire attitude that allows for the freer flow of people will reduce both the number of migrants and illegals."
Douglas S. Massey is the Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University.
