Misperception of the Mexicans’ Undocumented Immigration to the USA

Many factors influence the misperception of the rise in undocumented immigration of the Mexicans to the United States of America (USA). The USA has over the years taken advantage of the Mexico problems so as to increase labor in their country. One of the significant reason is that the people of Mexico are subjected to the much economic crisis. They are forced to look for employment elsewhere away from their country. Since they are located near the Southern border of the USA, the government assumes that most are illegally entering their country. Construction and farming industries in the USA have many workers who are not Americans but Mexicans.
Mexico population rise in children has been another cause. Many families are thus forced to look for jobs so as to feed their children. Job employment opportunities in their country are not able to provide work for all citizens. Since the USA is one of the most developed states in the world, the Mexicans find it convenient to earn a living there than in their country. Many Mexican workers who get a chance go back home; they always come with good news concerning the job vacancies in the construction and farm industries in the USA. The Mexicans have traditionally engaged in farming of animals, selling meat industries and also in construction work. They thus feel more potentially fit to work in these areas than the Americans.
Push factors in Mexico, poverty being one of them has been an advantage to the USA country over many years. Many Mexicans are unable to come out of poverty, and this has created alternative ways for them in the USA.

The country is flooded with so much wealth that Mexicans find it worth enough to end poverty in their country. Through their friends and relatives in the USA, they can find jobs and new markets for their products. Some of them are also able to acquire an education that helps them get professional jobs.
Corruption in the Mexican government has also been a major cause. Many qualified individuals are not able to get better paying jobs or education in a fair way. They, therefore, seek assistance in other countries where corruption and bribes are minimized. Since the USA is one of those countries, they find it secure to pursue what they want there.
The security border of the USA records that many illegal immigrants to the country are that of the Mexicans. Recent studies in 2012 show that 11.5 million immigrants are believed to have entered the country (Dhanireddy 2). Most of the people are Mexicans. Although the numbers have currently declined, the number of undocumented immigrants is still perceived to be high. Through the facts presented, the USA government is convinced that the studies and what is claimed to be a misperception is true.
The patrol on the border between USA and Mexico is taken lightly. The personnel at the border assume that the migrants will not be able to cross because of the costs and demands on the way. They also believe that if they can cross, they will reach their definitive destinations (Gruben et al. 8). The population of people at this point is assumed to be low. Unfortunately, the government does not rely on these assumptions. They use the first recorded information made by the personnel at the border.
