The immigration of undocumented immigrants into Texas

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stressed economic conditions of the Mexican economy have driven many undocumented immigrants to seek better economic opportunities in Texas. While federal legislation has attempted to curb undocumented immigration, it has not completely stopped it. The decline in undocumented immigration may be attributed to a combination of factors including stricter immigration policies, a stronger U.S. economy, and a decreased willingness among Texas employers to hire undocumented workers. NAFTA has not directly encouraged undocumented immigration but has had an impact on Mexican trade and economic relationships with the U.S.
