outlier in the history of U.S. immigration. Research carried out by

social/cultural anthropologists has played an important role in examining
localized dimensions of Mexican migration in Mexico and the United States,
and in elucidating the impacts of global processes in shaping the motivations
of households and individuals in initiating and maintaining the ongoing
human movement and transnational relations between communities in the
two nations .In fact, it is interesting to contrast recent Mexican immigration
to the United States with Mexican immigration a century ago. Mexican
immigration was relatively small in the early 1900s. This article provides a
view of the negative effects of tightening the United States' border. More
specifically, it discusses the booming market for people smuggling. The
stricter rules have led to a higher price to get across the border and
therefore tougher conditions for immigrants once in the United States
because they still owe the smugglers money.

bill because they believe for not support illegal immigrants already living in
the U.S. Republic party also understands the issue's political sensitivity and
the impact it could have on Republicans in the 2014 mid-term elections.
