Summary Paragraph
In the book, “Immigration: The Reference Shelf,” Reid Long discusses why many people from Mexico
come to the United States. According to Long (1996), “Their illegal flight northward in search of a better
lifestyle is predictable, and the Mexican government does not work very hard to prevent it” (p.49). This means
that the Mexican government does not care of the illegal crossing of Mexico’s people into the United States
when they are in search of a better lifestyle. Immigrants from Mexico come to the United States in search of a
job, or in some cases more than one, to make money. They come in search of something better knowing it does
not come easy, knowing there is a risk along with it. Parts of Mexico live in poverty and no effort on behalf of
the government is done to fix it because they are known to be corrupt. Poverty is what pushes these people to
make that long dangerous journey to the northside, knowing it will be better in the long run or if they get
caught, they try again. This can lead to another topic related to immigration, criminalization.
