[lbo-talk] NAFTA and Illegal Immigration Connection

[Auguste Blanqui]

I read many assertions from the left today about how NAFTA and neo-liberal
development more generally is fueling illegal immigration.
While I'm not doubting the connecting, I would like to get more specific
about extent.  Has any one run across any more detailed stories or
preliminary studies on the extent to which 1990s-now illegal immigration can
be attributed to changes in Mexican political economy?  The only index I've
seen is the huge drop in rural labor force in Mexico (I think), but there've
got to be others.
