    • Current US policies have intensified the marginalization of Mexican immigrants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the historical phases of Mexico-U.S. migration.

    Main Methods:

    • Historical policy analysis.
    • Examination of migration patterns.
    • Assessment of legal protections and societal attitudes.

    Main Results:

    • Mexican immigration entered an 'era of marginalization' in the late 1990s.
    • A majority of Mexicans in the US lack full legal protection.
    • Penalties for unauthorized status and persecution have reached record levels.
    • Militarized borders and anti-immigrant sentiment estrange Mexicans from both homelands and US society.

    Conclusions:
