Despite the large number of Mexicans who have been admitted as immigrants, for several decades U.S. immigration policy sought to construct the Mexican immigrant as a temporary worker; however, recent legislation has established a more permanent migration pattern, currently involving seven million undocumented persons.

En este artículo se revisa la historia para analizar el impacto que ha tenido la política de inmigración de Estados Unidos en la consolidación de patrones migratorios desde México entre 1882 y 2005. A pesar de la gran cantidad de mexicanos que han sido admitidos como inmigrantes, durante muchas décadas la política de inmigración de Estados Unidos buscó integrar al migrante mexicano como un trabajador temporal; sin embargo, legislaciones más recientes han instaurado un patrón de migración más permanente, en el que están involucradas siete millones de personas indocumentadas. El peso de más de cien años de política de inmigración de Estados Unidos debería garantizar el acceso especial a la residencia permanente legal a los inmigrantes indocumentados mexicanos.Migraciones Internacionales2011info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://colef.repositorioinstitucional.mx/jspui/handle/1014/513reponame:Repositorio Institucional de El Colegio de la Frontera Norteinstname:El Colegio de la Frontera Norteinstacron:EL COLEFenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/reference/DOI/http://dx.doi.org/10.17428/rmi.v6i20.1064info:eu-repo/semantics/reference/URL/https://migracionesinternacionales.colef.mx/index.php/migracionesinternacionales/article/view/1064citation:Alarcón Acosta, Rafael G., 2011, "U.s.
