"International migration from Mexico to the United Sates is viewed very differently depending on from which side of the border this phenomenon is observed and evaluated....[It is] imperative to begin a process of ¿demythifying' migration as a necessary and sufficient condition that would allow both countries to come together within the context of bilateral relations and find ways to act jointly to address the impacts of the issue. Such a demythifying effort must begin with scientific research which can help develop a diagnosis of the costs and benefits that labor migration from Mexico to the United States brings to the two countries."
从墨西哥到美国的国际移民,根据从边境哪一侧观察和评估这一现象,其看法截然不同……必须启动一个“消除神话”的进程,将移民视为两国在双边关系框架内走到一起并共同采取行动应对该问题影响的必要且充分条件。这样的消除神话的努力必须从科学研究开始,科学研究有助于对墨西哥向美国的劳动力移民给两国带来的成本和收益进行诊断。
