Migrations

by Jean Spencer


This site is a backgrounder on Mexican immigration to the US prepared by Jean Spencer at the UC Berkeley Center for Latin American Studies. What adds real value is the accompanying set of questions. Here's a sample:

  • What factors cause people to emigrate from Mexico to the United States?
  • What is the history of Mexican immigration to the United States?
  • How has emigration to the United States affected the political climate in Mexico?
  • How has immigration from Mexico changed politics in California?

    These questions are ready-made for teachers to use to create their own lesson plans on Mexican immigration to the United States.
