The Impact of Border Enforcement on Mexican Migration
Mexican migration to the United States used to follow a circular pattern, with migrants coming for seasonal work and returning home annually. However, the expansion of the border patrol and increased border enforcement raised the cost of crossing, discouraging migrants from going back. As a result, families started forming and staying longer in the United States. Research shows that if border enforcement had remained the same as in the 1980s, the undocumented Mexican population would be significantly lower today.
