This document discusses Mexican immigration to the United States. It notes that Mexicans make up the largest minority group in the US, with 14% being naturalized citizens, 53% unauthorized immigrants, and 33% legal residents. Many illegal residents live in fear of deportation or being unable to visit family in Mexico due to the costs and dangers of crossing the border. While risks are high, some feel jobs in the US compensate for these risks. Immigration policies have fluctuated over time as politicians debate potential solutions.
