Stran 60 - ... immigration into Mexico ; hence, the large increases observed in the population of the larger cities, and in certain of the regions, can only be explained through internal migration. People have obviously been migrating from rural areas to the cities and from one region to another. . . . * * * * MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES Over the years there has been a rather continuous immigration of Mexicans to the United States. According to the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, there were 400,263...

During most of her history the population remained fairly stable with only slight increases. • • • • INTERNAL MIGRATION . . . there have been no large waves of immigration into Mexico ; hence, the large increases observed in the population of the larger cities, and in certain of the regions, can only be explained through...
Stran 24 - ... in 1961 there was a return to Canada of some 6,250 Canadian born who had gone to the United States to settle. The fact that out of 47,000 Canadian residents moving to the United States 32,000 were Canadian born means that 15,000 were born elsewhere, presumably Europe in most cases. This continues a movement from Europe to the United States through Canada that at one time was a source of considerable complaint in our country. The expenses of admitting and assimilating immigrants are high both...

MIGRATION OF BRACEROS (FARMWORKERS) Beginning during World War II when farm labor was scarce in the United States, large numbers of seasonal farm workers were imported from Mexico to work on the commercial farms in place of men called into war service. These men entered for specified periods of time and were under contract to return to Mexico when...
Stran 62 - ... States citizens living in Mexico increased from 10,000 in 1940 to 48,500 in 1956. Some indication of the impact of Mexican immigration on the United States may be derived from the US census data, which indicate that there were 575,902 persons living in the United States in 1960 who were born in Mexico. These constituted 5.9 percent of the total foreign born. The inhabitants of Mexican birth are concentrated in a few States mostly in the southwest along the Mexican border. The largest numbers,...

The surplus of births over deaths during the past 16 years has resulted in a natural increase of from 23.8 per thousand inhabitants in 1946 to 33.9 in 1960 • • • • THE OUTLOOK All signs point to a rapid increase in Mexico's population for the immediate future. It is impossible to predict how fast the population will grow or how long the rate of increase will...

Many of the smaller countries in Central America and the Caribbean Islands, however, are much more densely populated than any of these largest five. • • • • GROWTH OF POPULATION Mexico's population is increasing at a rate that is probably unexcelled by any country in the Western Hemisphere and by few countries in the entire world. Her population increased...
Stran 62 - ... former immigrants returning to Mexico (emigrating) from the United States have not been collected since 1957. Ever since the beginning of the century Mexico has been a country of emigration rather than one of immigration partly because of the scarcity of good farmland, widespread poverty, and limited opportunities for employment. A good many United States citizens live in Mexico but they do not usually become Mexican citizens. Thus, the number of United States citizens living in Mexico increased...

This would seem to indicate that one of Mexico's most serious problems relates to defects in the distribution system for allocating the benefits of industrialization among the various segments of the population. . . . • • * * Despite some improvement in living conditions among the general population, it is probable that half of the population, or perhaps 60 percent, still have great difficulty in earning enough to make...
