The Mexico-US Binational Study on Migration was authorized by our two Governments through the Mexico-United States Binational Commission. The study addresses the issue of migration of Mexican nationals to the United States. This study, conducted by a team composed of ten scholars from each country, is the most comprehensive effort of its kind. The intent of reaching a common understanding for the phenomenon of migration to facilitate dialogue between our two countries on this subject. Many previous studies carried out separately on both sides of the border fostered partial and one sided perceptions. This has made it difficult to achieve a shared understanding of what migration signifies for both societies. The data and analyses contained in the Binational Study were obtained, evaluated and accepted jointly by the participating Mexican and US scholars. Thus, the conclusion reached on migration reflect a truly binational perspective.
