Conclusion. 330 $aDespite geographical closeness and many shared economic interests, the United States and Mexico remain wary of one another. Policies designed to curtail the number of Mexican immigrants entering into the United States, a 700-mile-long border fence between the two countries, an increasing illegal drug trade, and continually troubled trucking legislation have somewhat eclipsed the North American Free Trade Agreement's (NAFTA's) cooperative scope. Additionally, the current international economic crisis has put any positive renegotiations between the United States and Mexico on hold. However, to ensure that the economic and political relationship between the two countries is as mutually beneficial as it is sustainable, it is critical that Mexico and the United States reiterate their commitment to their important relationship. This book focuses on how the alliance between the United States and Mexico can be made stronger, combining approaches from economics, demography, and sociology, discussions with U.S. and Mexican policymakers, reviews of published work, and results from opinion surveys. Whether relations between the two countries improve or deteriorate depends on the policies adopted by the current U.S. and Mexican administrations. New leaders in both countries are in a position to tackle common interests and take advantage of new opportunities without the baggage of past missteps and suspicions.--Publisher description. 410 0$aRand Corporation monograph series ;$vMG-985-RC. 606 $aCitizenship and nationality law$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of the Americas$2bicssc 606 $aPublic international law: economic and trade$2bicssc 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xRelations$zUnited States 610 $aHistory 610 $aLaw 615 7$aCitizenship and nationality law 615 7$aHistory of the Americas 615 7$aPublic international law: economic and trade 676 $a337.73072 700 $aAguila$b Emma$0910158 701 $aAguila$b Emma$0910158 712 02$aRand Corporation. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141284803321 996 $aUnited States and Mexico$92037119 997 $aUNINA
