Mexican immigrants / Ruiz, Jos?

A history of Mexicans immigrating to North America, particularly during the twentieth century, and an overview of the process immigrants undergo when they arrive in North America.

Mexicans are attracted by the greater job opportunities available in the United States and Canada, as well as the opportunity to escape the violence involving drug cartels and the Mexican government. Most Mexican immigrants arrive in the country legally, although illegal immigration has been a problem for many years.
